Efficient classical algorithm for simulating boson sampling with heterogeneous partial distinguishability

Quantum Physics 2025-03-07 v2 Optics

Abstract

Boson sampling is one of the leading protocols for demonstrating a quantum advantage, but the theory of how this protocol responds to noise is still incomplete. We extend the theory of classical simulation of boson sampling with partial distinguishability to the case where the degree of indistinguishability between photon pairs is different between different pairs.
