The Walrus

The Walrus is a Python/C++ library for the fast calculation of hafnians, loop hafnians, and multidimensional Hermite polynomials — the linear-algebra primitives behind Gaussian boson sampling and photonic quantum state characterization. Apache-2.0; published in the Journal of Open Source Software (2019).
