Imperfect Gaussian Boson Sampling is Classically Simulable
10:30 - 10:50
Jelmer Renema Gaussian boson sampling is the most feasible way of demonstrating a quantum advantage using photonics. However, much is unknown regarding the hardness of this experiment.
I will extend simulability results on boson sampling to the regime of Gaussian boson sampling. I will show that Gaussian boson sampling has the same susceptibility to noise as regular boson sampling. I will also show that strong squeezing constitutes an imperfection, and give an upper bound on the permissible level of squeezing in a boson sampler. I will discuss the implications of these results imply for experimental resources necessary to demonstrate a quantum advantage."
