Abstract: Piquasso, an open-source quantum computing framework, enables fast and scalable simulations of photonic quantum circuits. It provides a high-level Python programming interface for efficient simulation of both discrete and continuous-variable photonic quantum computing. By integrating optimized numerical methods, high-performance C++ implementations, and machine learning frameworks, Piquasso addresses the computational intensity of quantum simulations. Leveraging HPC resources allows researchers to explore quantum advantage schemes, test error mitigation strategies, and benchmark experimental results against idealized models. As photonic quantum hardware continues to evolve, robust simulation tools powered by HPC infrastructure will remain essential for bridging the gap between theoretical models and real-world quantum computing applications.
