Abstract
A method solves matrix problems and comprises an encoding step, wherein a matrix is transformed into a unitary matrix, by encoding the matrix with a unitary dilation theorem used as an encoding function; then an optical design step, wherein the unitary matrix is translated into a linear optical circuit, then an optical device is formed by the linear optical circuit, single-photon sources at input and single-photon detectors at output; then an analysis step, wherein the optical device is used for solving a problem related to the matrix, by analyzing the output state of the single-photon detectors. A system implements the method.
