Bosonic Quantum Computer
A quantum-computing platform that uses quantum modes of bosons, typically photons, as information carriers, with linear optical quantum computing and continuous-variable quantum computing as typical representatives. Its Hilbert space is infinite-dimensional, and the main noise mechanism is photon loss.

A bosonic quantum computer is a quantum computing platform that uses the quantum modes of bosons (usually photons) as information carriers, with typical representatives including photonic linear optical quantum computing and continuous-variable quantum computing.
Photon loss is the primary decoherence mechanism of bosonic quantum computing platforms, namely the unavoidable absorption or scattering of photons by the environment, which causes quantum states to decay toward the vacuum state.
