• Abstract: We adapt an algorithm for CNOT circuits synthesis based on the Bruhat decomposition to the design of linear optical circuits with Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZI). The synthesis algorithm reduces to designing sorting networks with nearest neighbor swapping operations as elementary gates. We recover previous designs from the literature but with additional theoretical properties regarding the compiler that implements unitaries on the interferometer. Notably the compiler can always decide whether a unitary can be implemented on a given interferometer and, if so, returns the shallowest possible implementation. We also show natural extensions of our framework for boson sampling experiments and for the coupling of multiple integrated interferometers to design larger linear optical systems. In both cases, the designs are optimal in terms of number of optical components. Finally, we propose a greedy design which exploits the arbritrary-but-fixed coupling of separate integrated interferometers to perform shallow boson sampling. We discuss the optimal interferometer dimensions to maximize the transmission. Beyond boson sampling, our developed framework allows a resource-favourable implemention of any non-adaptive linear optical quantum algorithm, by providing the shallowest possible interferometer for implementing this algorithm.

• Fast reconstruction of programmable interferometers with intensity-only measurements [0.0]
  Linear optical interferometers are promising for classical and quantum applications. To use them in practice, one has to reconstruct the whole device model taking the manufacturing errors into account. We show that it performs slightly worse than the original fast algorithm but it is more practical and still does not require intensive numerical optimization.

  We develop and investigate an integrated multimode two-colour SU (1,1) interferometer that operates in a supersensitive mode. By ensuring a proper design of the integrated platform, we suppress dispersion and thereby significantly increase the visibility of the interference pattern. We demonstrate that such an interferometer overcomes the classical phase sensitivity limit for wide parametric gain ranges, when up to $3*104$ photons are generated.
