• Abstract: We present photonic quantum computing architectures that can deal with both probabilistic (heralded) generation of single photons and probabilistic gates without making use of coherent switching. The only required dynamical element is the controllable absorption of all photons in a given mode. While the architectures in theory scale polynomially in the resources required for universal quantum computation, as presented their overhead is large and they are illustrative extreme points in the configuration space of photonic approaches, rather than a recipe that anybody should seriously pursue. They do, however, prove that many things presumed necessary for photonic quantum computing, in fact are not. Of potentially independent interest may be that the architectures make use of qubits which have many possible microstates corresponding to a single effective qubit state, and the technique for dealing with probabilistic operations is to, when necessary, just enlarge the set of such microstates to incorporate all possibilities, while making heavy use of the subsequent ability to `coherently erase' which particular microstate a given qubit is in.
