Abstract: We present a user-friendly software for photonic analog quantum computing with a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows for convenient operation without requiring programming skills. Hamiltonians can be flexibly set by either importing the waveguide position files or manually plotting the configuration on the interactive board of the GUI. Our software provides a powerful approach to theoretical studies of two-dimensional quantum walks, quantum stochastic walks, multiparticle quantum walks, and boson sampling, which may all be feasibly implemented in the physical experimental system on photonic chips, and it will inspire a rich diversity of applications for photonic quantum computing and quantum simulation. We have improved algorithms to ensure the efficiency of permanent calculation and provided case studies on educational uses, which bring users easier access to the studies of photonic quantum simulation.
