A Virtual Interferometer for Optical Quantum Computing

Caption

Measurement-based linear optics implements a huge multi-mode interferometer consisting of beamsplitters (green) and phase delays (blue). The size of the virtual interferometer can be many hundreds or thousands of optical elements, despite the small size of the physical experiment.
