A Gaussian boson sampler (GBS) is a special-purpose quantum computer that can be practically realized at large scale in optics. Here we report on experiments in which we used a frequency-multiplexed GBS with $>400$ modes as the reservoir in…

Many traditional algorithms applied in gravitational-wave astronomy rely on the assumption of Gaussian noise, a condition not always met. To meet this need, this study extends a robust statistical framework, advancing previous work on…

We consider the logarithmic Schr\"odinger equation in the focusing regime. For this equation, Gaussian initial data remains Gaussian. In particular, the Gausson-a time-independent Gaussian function-is an orbitally stable solution. In the…
