Photon-native quantum algorithms

Abstract Photonic platforms occupy a central place in quantum technologies. They appear in quantum networks and communication, in near-term quantum advantage schemes, as well as in fault-tolerant quantum computing proposals. In this perspective article, we review the advances and challenges of this technology, and we focus on algorithms and protocols that we call photon-native, i.e. which closely follow the specificities of the hardware.

Abstract

Abstract Photonic platforms occupy a central place in quantum technologies. They appear in quantum networks and communication, in near-term quantum advantage schemes, as well as in fault-tolerant quantum computing proposals. In this perspective article, we review the advances and challenges of this technology, and we focus on algorithms and protocols that we call photon-native, i.e. which closely follow the specificities of the hardware.
