We introduce $ Perceval $, an open-source software platform for simulating and interfacing
with discrete-variable photonic quantum computers, and describe its main features and …

We propose a framework to design and optimize generic photonic quantum circuits
composed of Gaussian objects (pure and mixed Gaussian states, Gaussian unitaries …

Quantum computers are inherently affected by noise. While in the long term, error correction
codes will account for noise at the cost of increasing physical qubits, in the near term, the …

Randomized benchmarking (RB) is the most commonly employed protocol for the
characterization of unitary operations in quantum circuits due to its reasonable experimental …

We introduce a framework for simulating quantum optics by decomposing the system into a
finite rank (number of terms) superposition of coherent states. This allows us to define a …

Linear optical circuits can be used to manipulate the quantum states of photons as they pass
through components including beam splitters and phase shifters. Those photonic states …

Many applications of quantum optics demand delicate quantum properties of light carefully
tailored to accomplish a specific task. To this end, numerical simulations of quantum light …

This thesis (Habilitation\a diriger des recherches) presents some of my research
contributions since my Ph. D defense in 2008. I have had the chance to participate in the …

Quantum networking at many scales will be critical to future quantum technologies and
experiments on quantum systems. Photonic links enable quantum networking. They will …

Variational quantum algorithms show potential in effectively operating on noisy intermediate-
scale quantum devices. A variational approach to reinforcement learning has been recently …
