Classical Emulation of Photonic Quantum Computing

Abstract

The goal of this project is to explore the use of classical analog electronics to emulate the behavior and computational efficacy of a photonic quantum computer. Leveraging prior theoretical work on classically modeling quantum optical systems, we propose to explore the physical implementation of these models for the purpose of developing a novel approach to advanced computing that is scalable, inexpensive, and has low size, weight, and power (SWAP). Under this project we will develop the fundamental architecture for suchan approach, construct proof-of-concept prototype systems, and assess their efficacy and scalability.
