A few decades ago, quantum optics stood out as a new domain of physics by exhibiting
states of light with no classical equivalent. The first investigations concerned single photons …

The science of quantum information has arisen over the last two decades centered on the
manipulation of individual quanta of information, known as quantum bits or qubits. Quantum …

Photonics is the platform of choice to build a modular, easy-to-network quantum computer
operating at room temperature. However, no concrete architecture has been presented so …

Gaussian states have played an important role in the physics of continuous-variable
quantum systems. They are appealing for the experimental ease with which they can be …

One of the most fundamental quantum states of light is the squeezed vacuum, in which noise
in one of the quadratures is less than the standard quantum noise limit. In nanophotonics, it …

Measurement-based quantum computation offers exponential computational speed-up
through simple measurements on a large entangled cluster state. We propose and …

The minimum resolvable signal in sensing and metrology platforms that rely on optical
readout fields is increasingly constrained by the standard quantum limit, which is determined …

Abstract We introduce Strawberry Fields, an open-source quantum programming
architecture for light-based quantum computers, and detail its key features. Built in Python …

Photonic quantum computing is one of the leading approaches to universal quantum
computation. However, large-scale implementation of photonic quantum computing has …

Quantum computing can be realized with numerous different hardware platforms and
computational protocols. A highly promising, and potentially scalable, idea is to combine a …
