Distributed, large-scale quantum computing will need architectures that combine matter-based qubits with photonic links, but today's software stacks target either gate-based chips or linear-optical devices in isolation. We introduce Optyx,…

We provide several algorithms for the exact, uniform random sampling of Latin squares and Sudoku matrices via probabilistic divide-and-conquer (PDC). Our approach divides the sample space into smaller pieces, samples each separately, and…
