We demonstrate how useful classes of bosonic qubits -- Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP), cat, and Fock states -- can be simulated using this formalism, opening the door to investigating the behaviour of bosonic qubits under Gaussian channels and measurements, non-Gaussian transformations such as those achieved via gate teleportation, and important non-Gaussian measurements such as threshold and photon-number detection.

We show that the positivity of the Wigner function of Gaussian states and measurements provides an elegant way to bound the discriminating power of "linear optics", which we formalise as Gaussian measurement operations augmented by classical (feed-forward) communication (GOCC).

Encoding a qubit in the continuous degrees of freedom of an oscillator is a significant pursuit of quantum computation.

We introduce architectures for near-deterministic implementation of fully tunable weak cubic phase gates requisite for universal quantum computation.
