Since entering the information age, quantum science has already revolutionised the world in recent years. New opportunities to use the quantum advantages in real-life applications will impact on major industries across pharmaceuticals, defence, finance, and information technology. In this proposal, I aim to develop a high-dimension fully programmable Gaussian Boson Sampling (GBS) photonic processor, which is a near-term special-purpose model of photonic quantum computing serving as a promising candidate in solving real-life problems. There are two main goals here: (1) building a universal temporally encoded GBS device, and (2) using it in real-life quantum biomedical tasks. Thanks to the programmable and scalable silicon nitride photonic integrated circuit (PIC), I can build a large scale fully programmable and software scalable GBS device. The universality of this device is exhibited by supporting any arbitrary graph or Hamiltonian encoded on it, and this offers great versatility in the scope of problems that it can encode. Then, I will use this universal GBS device to solve drug design and vibronic spectra problems, and this GBS device can provide a computational speedup to perform these tasks. Many patients who have diseases like, Alzheimer's, ischaemia or cancers will be benefit from this GBS-accelerated drug design. Besides, this GBS device will provide a more efficient analysis technique for molecular spectroscopy, and enable wider researchers have a better understanding of non-Condon effects. These real-life applications can immediately stimulate the innovation of relevant biomedical and chemistry industries and research institutions, and will be adopted once maturity is reached.

自从进入信息时代以来，Quantum Science近年来已经彻底改变了世界。在现实生活中使用量子优势的新机会将影响药品，国防，金融和信息技术的主要行业。在此提案中，我旨在开发一个高维度可编程的高斯玻色子采样（GBS）光子处理器，这是一种近期的光子量子计算的特殊特殊用途模型，可作为解决现实生活问题的有前途的候选者。这里有两个主要目标：（1）构建一个通用的时间编码的GBS设备，（2）在现实生活中的量子生物医学任务中使用它。得益于可编程且可扩展的氮化硅光子集成电路（PIC），我可以构建一个完全可编程和软件可扩展GBS设备的大型。该设备的通用性是通过支持任何编码的任何任意图形或哈密顿式的，这可以展示出来，这在可以编码的问题范围内提供了极大的多功能性。然后，我将使用此通用GBS设备来解决药物设计和振动光谱问题，并且该GBS设备可以提供计算速度来执行这些任务。许多患有诸如Alzheimer，缺血或癌症之类的疾病的患者将受益于这种GBS加速药物设计。此外，该GBS设备将为分子光谱法提供更有效的分析技术，使更广泛的研究人员可以更好地了解非核对效应。这些现实生活中的应用可以立即刺激相关的生物医学和化学行业和研究机构的创新，一旦达到成熟度，将被采用。
