The parameters of a quantum system grow exponentially with the number of involved quantum particles. Hence, the associated memory requirement goes well beyond the limit of best classic computers for quantum systems composed of a few dozen particles leading to huge challenges in their numerical simulation. This implied that verification, let alone, design of new quantum devices and experiments, is fundamentally limited to small system size. It is not clear how the full potential of large quantum systems can be exploited. Here, we present the concept of quantum computer designed quantum hardware and apply it to the field of quantum optics. Specifically, we map complex experimental hardware for high-dimensional, many-body entangled photons into a gate-based quantum circuit. We show explicitly how digital quantum simulation of Boson Sampling experiments can be realized. Then we illustrate how to design quantum-optical setups for complex entangled photon systems, such as high-dimensional Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states and their derivatives. Since photonic hardware is already on the edge of quantum supremacy (the limit beyond which systems can no longer be calculated classically) and the development of gate-based quantum computers is rapidly advancing, our approach promises to be an useful tool for the future of quantum device design.
