Abstract
It is strongly believed that the evolution of bosons undergoing arbitrary linear unitary transformations quickly becomes hard to predict using classical computers as we increase the number of particles and modes. Photons propagating in a multiport interferometer naturally solve this so-called boson sampling problem: sample the outputs of a multi-photon experiment in a linear-optical interferometer. This motivates the development of technologies that enable precise control of multiphoton interference in large interferometers.
