DESCRIPTION:[b]Speaker: Olga Solodovnikova[/b] (University of Southern Den
 mark).\n\n[b]Abstract: [/b]\nIn this research seminar\, I will discuss te
 chniques for simulating continuous-variable circuits\, which typically fa
 ll into two categories: phase-space simulation (Gaussian)\, and Fock-spac
 e simulation. \nI will present the methodology behind a CV circuit simula
 tion library\, which I developed during my PhD\, which extends the Gaussi
 an representation to systems that can be written as linear combinations o
 f Gaussians. By approximating Fock states as superpositions of coherent s
 tates\, any finite-energy CV state can be represented in this formalism. 
 Furthermore\, the complexity of this algorithm scales with the stellar ra
 nk of the non-Gaussian circuit elements.\n \nIn the two manuscripts\, I s
 howcase the library by simulating and optimising GKP state preparation ci
 rcuits in the presence of loss. Having said that\, the formalism is appli
 cable to any continuous-variable system. \n\n[1] Solodovnikova et al. “Fa
