An apparatus includes an optical circuit having at least one reconfigurable beamsplitter and is configured to receive a plurality of input optical modes in a Gaussian state and generate a plurality of output optical modes. The apparatus also includes at least one detector optically coupled with the optical circuit and configured to perform a non-Gaussian measurement of a first output optical mode from the plurality of output optical modes. The non-Gaussian measurement of the first output optical mode is configured to cause a second output optical mode from the plurality of output optical modes to be in a first non-Gaussian state. The apparatus also includes a controller operatively coupled to the optical circuit and configured to change a setting of the at least one reconfigurable beamsplitter to cause the second output optical mode from the plurality of output optical modes to be in a second non-Gaussian state.

Apparatus and methods for generating non-gaussian states from gaussian states

An apparatus includes a light source to provide a plurality of input optical modes in a squeezed state. The apparatus also includes a network of interconnected reconfigurable beam splitters (RBSs) configured to perform a unitary transformation of the plurality of input optical modes to generate a plurality of output optical modes. An array of photon counting detectors is in optical communication with the network of interconnected RBSs and configured to measure the number of photons in each mode of the plurality of the output optical modes after the unitary transformation. The apparatus also includes a controller operatively coupled to the light source and the network of interconnected RBSs. The controller is configured to control at least one of the squeezing factor of the squeezed state of light, the angle of the unitary transformation, or the phase of the unitary transformation.

Apparatus and methods for gaussian boson sampling

An apparatus includes a plurality of interconnected reconfigurable beam splitters and a plurality of phase shifters collectively configured to define a network of optical devices. The network of optical devices is configured to perform a universal transformation on a plurality of input optical signals via a triangular architecture. The apparatus also includes a first delay line optically coupled to the network of optical devices and configured to send at least one output optical signal from a plurality of output optical signals of the network of optical devices to interact with at least one input optical signal in the plurality of input optical signals within the network of optical devices.
