Photonic Quantum Computing with Continuous Variables
AI Explanation
This paper outlines a method to build a scalable quantum computer using light, where information is encoded in the continuous properties of light waves (like amplitude and phase) rather than standard discrete qubits. It relies on a "fusion" technique to seamlessly combine large, entangled networks of photons—known as cluster states—into a functional computing system. Ultimately, this approach provides a practical pathway to scale up photonic quantum computers for real-world applications.
Abstract
We present a fusion-based quantum computing architecture using photonic cluster states and continuous-variable encodings for scalable photonic quantum computation.
