This project implements standard and scattershot BosonSampling in Julia, including boson samplers and certification and optimization tools.

Functionalities

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

Installation

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.
