Gaussian Boson Sampling (GBS) is a recently developed paradigm of quantum computing consisting of sending a Gaussian state through a linear interferometer and then counting the number of photons in each output mode. When the system encodes…

We show that a distribution related to Gaussian Boson Sampling (GBS) on graphs can be sampled classically in polynomial time. Graphical applications of GBS typically sample from this distribution, and thus quantum algorithms do not provide…

Boson Sampling is a computational task strongly believed to be hard for classical computers, but efficiently solvable by orchestrated bosonic interference in a specialised quantum computer. Current experimental schemes, however, are still…

Quantum advantage, benchmarking the computational power of quantum machines outperforming all classical computers in a specific task, represents a crucial milestone in developing quantum computers and has been driving different physical…

We present improved algorithms for fast calculation of the inverse square root for single-precision floating-point numbers. The algorithms are much more accurate than the famous fast inverse square root algorithm and have the same or…

We describe an efficient, scalable Gaussian boson sampler based on a classical description of squeezed quantum light and a deterministic model of single-photon detectors that click when the incident amplitude falls above a given threshold.…

Bayesian optimization devolves the global optimization of a costly objective function to the global optimization of a sequence of acquisition functions. This inner-loop optimization can be catastrophically difficult if it involves posterior…

Gaussian Boson Sampling (GBS) is capable of solving certain classes of graph problems owing to the samples produced by such a device having a connection to the hafnian matrix function. In particular, a GBS device has been shown to provide…

We study the hardness of classically simulating Gaussian boson sampling at nonzero photon distinguishability. We find that similar to regular boson sampling, distinguishability causes exponential attenuation of the many-photon interference…

It is well-known that polynomial reproduction is not possible when approximating with Gaussian kernels. Quasi-interpolation schemes have been developed which use a finite number of Gaussians at different scales, which then reproduce…

Thompson sampling (TS) is a class of algorithms for sequential decision-making, which requires maintaining a posterior distribution over a model. However, calculating exact posterior distributions is intractable for all but the simplest…
