This project implements standard and scattershot BosonSampling in Julia, including boson samplers and certification and optimization tools.
A wide variety of tools are available:
- Boson-samplers, including partial distinguishability and loss
- Bunching tools and functions
- Various tools to validate experimental boson-samplers
- User-defined optical circuits built from optical elements
- Optimization functions over unitary matrices
- Photon counting tools for subsets and partitions of the output modes
- Tools to study permanent and generalized matrix function conjectures and counter-examples
To install the package, launch a Julia REPL session and type
julia> using Pkg; Pkg.add("BosonSampling")
Alternatively type on the ] key. Then enter
add BosonSampling
To use the package, write
using BosonSampling
in your file.
