It involves sending squeezed states of light through a network of beam splitters and phase shifters (a linear interferometer) and measuring the output, a process that is exponentially hard for classical computers to simulate."""

The different attractor profiles (Lorentzian vs. Ricker's wavelet) are different "photon count signatures" | | **Computation** | **ODE integration**: x(t) = exp(โˆ’iHt)x(0) with H = F^H is exactly the unitary time-evolution of a linear optical circuit | | **Output distribution** | **Fate of the trajectory**: Probability of landing in basin A vs. basin B = probability of detecting a particular photon pattern | This is a *complete equivalence*: - **GBS** = Linear optical quantum computing with squeezed input states, beam-splitter network, and photon detection. - **GFFK ODE-CCT** = Continuous-time quantum evolution generated by a holomorphic field, with attractor topology as measurement outcomes.
