• Abstract: Photon loss is destructive to the performance of quantum photonic devices and therefore suppressing the effects of photon loss is paramount to photonic quantum technologies. We present two schemes to mitigate the effects of photon loss for a Gaussian Boson Sampling device, in particular, to improve the estimation of the sampling probabilities. Instead of using error correction codes which are expensive in terms of their hardware resource overhead, our schemes require only a small amount of hardware modifications or even no modification. Our loss-suppression techniques rely either on collecting additional measurement data or on classical post-processing once the measurement data is obtained. We show that with a moderate cost of classical post processing, the effects of photon loss can be significantly suppressed for a certain amount of loss. The proposed schemes are thus a key enabler for applications of near-term photonic quantum devices.

  Quantum non-Gaussian states of light have fundamental properties that are essential for a multitude of applications in quantum technology. Many features are difficult to detect using standard criteria due to optical losses and detector inefficiency. We employ a loss-mitigated verification technique utilising quantum non-Gaussian witnesses, which incorporate the known optical losses and detector inefficiency into their derivation.

Recycled probabilities are constructed from output statistics affected by loss. Classical postprocessing techniques then take recycled probabilities as input and output a set of loss-mitigated probabilities.

  Cat states with their unique phase-space interference properties are ideal candidates for understanding quantum mechanics. They are highly susceptible to photon loss, which inevitably diminishes their quantum non-Gaussian features. Here, we protect these non-Gaussian features by compressing the phase-space distribution of a cat state.

Here, we experimentally demonstrate that detection can be implemented with a temporal resolution sufficient to interfere photons detuned on the scales necessary for cavity-based integrated photon sources. We show how time-resolved detection of non-ideal photons can be used to improve the fidelity of an entangling operation and to mitigate the reduction of computational complexity in boson sampling experiments.
