We report on our recent development of time-multiplexed programmable continuous-variable photonic quantum computing, especially focusing on our programmable loop-based quantum processor capable of performing multi-step quantum operations on highly non-classical states of light.

Photonic quantum computing has been dramatically scaled up recently by the promising approach of combining the continuous-variable" and time-multiplexing" schemes. We report on our recent development of time-multiplexed programmable continuous-variable photonic quantum computing, including a programmable loop-based quantum processor for single-mode multi-step Gaussian gates and a programmable time-multiplexed squeezed light source for initial state preparation. Our works pave the way to large-scale programmable continuous-variable quantum computing.
