- Abstract summary: This work investigates qudits defined by the possible photon number states of a single photon in d > 2 optical modes.
We demonstrate how to construct locally optimal non-deterministic many-qudit gates using linear optics and photon number resolving detectors.
We find that the qudit cluster states require less optical modes and are encoded by a fewer number of entangled photons than the qubit cluster states with similar computational capabilities.

- Abstract: Linear optics is a promising alternative for the realization of quantum
computation protocols due to the recent advancements in integrated photonic
technology. In this context usually qubit based quantum circuits are
considered, however, photonic systems naturally allow also for d-ary, i.e.,
qudit based, algorithms. This work investigates qudits defined by the possible
photon number states of a single photon in d > 2 optical modes. We demonstrate
how to construct locally optimal non-deterministic many-qudit gates using
linear optics and photon number resolving detectors, and explore the use of
qudit cluster states in the context of a d-ary optimization problem. We find
that the qudit cluster states require less optical modes and are encoded by a
fewer number of entangled photons than the qubit cluster states with similar
computational capabilities. We illustrate the benefit of our qudit scheme by
applying it to the k-coloring problem.

Bosonic quantum error correcting codes are primarily designed to protect against single-photon loss.
Error correction requires a recovery operation that maps the error states -- which have opposite parity -- back onto the code states.
Here, we realize a collection of photon-number-selective, simultaneous photon addition operations on a bosonic mode.
