• Abstract: Fault-tolerant photonic quantum computing requires the generation of large entangled resource states. The required size of these states makes it challenging to simulate the effects of errors such as loss and partial distinguishability. For an interferometer with $N$ partially distinguishable input photons and $M$ spatial modes, the Fock basis can have up to ${N+NM-1\choose N}$ elements. We show that it is possible to use a much smaller unsymmetrized basis with size $M^N$ without discarding any information. This enables simulations of the joint effect of loss and partial distinguishability on larger states than is otherwise possible. We demonstrate the technique by providing the first-ever simulations of the generation of imperfect qubits encoded using quantum parity codes, including an example where the Hilbert space is over $60$ orders of magnitude smaller than the $N$-photon Fock space. As part of the analysis, we derive the loss mechanism for partially distinguishable photons.

  We introduce a variational quantum solver for optimizations over $m=mathcalO(nk)$ binary variables using only $n$ qubits, with tunable $k>1$. We analytically prove that the specific qubit-efficient encoding brings in a super-polynomial mitigation of barren plateaus as a built-in feature.

  We present the analysis of the quantum two-port interferometer in the $n rightarrow infty$ limit of $n$ partially indistinguishable photons. Our main result is that the output distribution is dominated by the $O(sqrtn)$ channels around a certain $j*$ that depends on the degree of indistinguishability. The form is essentially the doubly-humped semi-classical envelope of the distribution that would arise from $2 j*$ indistinguishable photons, and which reproduces the corresponding classical intensity distribution.

  We introduce a framework for simulating quantum optics by decomposing the system into a finite rank (number of terms) superposition of coherent states. We demonstrate that linear optical simulations with the $n$ photons initially in the same mode scales efficiently, as $O(m2 n)$.

• Experimental realization of deterministic and selective photon addition in a bosonic mode assisted by an ancillary qubit [50.591267188664666]
  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.

We are able to overcome new mathematical challenges due to the infinite-dimensionality of CV systems. We provide a scheme to learn nonlinear functionals of the state, such as entropies over any small number of modes.

  Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories (LGTs) aims at tackling non-perturbative particle and condensed matter physics. One of the current challenges is to go beyond 1+1 dimensions, where four-body (plaquette) interactions, not contained naturally in quantum simulating devices, appear. We show how to prepare the ground state and measure Wilson loops using state-of-the-art techniques in atomic physics.

  We give scalable, explicit digital quantum algorithms to simulate the lattice Schwinger model in both NISQ and fault-tolerant settings. In lattice units, we find a Schwinger model on $N/2$ physical sites with coupling constant $x-1/2$ and electric field cutoff $x-1/2Lambda$. We estimate observables which we cost in both the NISQ and fault-tolerant settings by assuming a simple target observable---the mean pair density.
