Xanadu's python quantum programming library seems to have more intuitive optimisation at this point

Wow, I'm playing with https://strawberryfields.ai/ and I literally do not understand a single word or concept on the page.

Huh. I've read about boson sampling, but didn't realise you could construct a universal quantum circuit model around it. Interesting.

Boson sampling is not universal. On the other hand, it could be used to demonstrate a quantum advantage: https://arxiv.org/abs/1011.3245.
