We study the implementation of arbitrary excitation-conserving linear transformations between two sets of N stationary bosonic modes connected by a photonic quantum channel. We prove the feasibility of implementing this transfer with high fidelity and achieving a predetermined N x N unitary transformation between the two sets of modes using a set of control pulses. The presented scheme, which is purely control-based and hardware-independent, is highly flexible and has wide applications in areas such as boson sampling experiments, multiqubit state transfer protocols, and continuous-variable quantum computing architectures.
We study the implementation of arbitrary excitation-conserving linear transformations between two sets of N stationary bosonic modes, which are connected through a photonic quantum channel. By controlling the individual couplings between the modes and the channel, an initial N-partite quantum state in register A can be released as a multiphoton wave packet and, successively, be reabsorbed in register B. Here we prove that there exists a set of control pulses that implement this transfer with arbitrarily high fidelity and, simultaneously, realize a prespecified N x N unitary transformation between the two sets of modes. Moreover, we provide a numerical algorithm for constructing these control pulses and discuss the scaling and robustness of this protocol in terms of several illustrative examples. By being purely control-based and not relying on any adaptations of the underlying hardware, the presented scheme is extremely flexible and can find widespread applications, for example, for boson-sampling experiments, multiqubit state transfer protocols, or in continuous-variable quantum computing architectures.
