Quantum advantage and classical simulation of continuous-variable quantum computers
Continuous-variable (CV) systems—described by observables with continuous spectra, such as the position and momentum quadratures of bosonic fields—are attracting increasing interest as a platform for scalable and fault-tolerant quantum computing.
In this tutorial, I will introduce the fundamental principles of continuous-variable quantum computation and discuss the role of resource theories in characterizing the computational power of CV quantum circuits. I will also examine the boundary between classes of circuits that admit efficient classical simulation and those capable of providing a quantum computational advantage.
In the technical talk, I will present recent results on the classical estimation of output probability distributions for both discrete- and continuous-variable quantum circuits, highlighting the conceptual connections between these approaches.
