• Abstract: We consider realistic photodetection in a generalization of the Hong-Ou-Mandel experiment to the multimode case. The basic layout of this experiment underlies boson sampling -- a promising model of nonuniversal quantum computations. Peculiarities of photocounting probabilities in such an experiment witness important nonclassical properties of electromagnetic field related to indistinguishability of boson particles. In practice, these probabilities are changed from their theoretical values due to the imperfect ability of realistic detectors to distinguish numbers of bunched photons. We derive analytical expressions for photocounting distributions in the generalized Hong-Ou-Mandel experiment for the case of realistic photon-number resolving (PNR) detectors. It is shown that probabilities of properly postselected events are proportional to probabilities obtained for perfect PNR detectors. Our results are illustrated with examples of arrays of on/off detectors and detectors affected by a finite dead time.

We show that the simulation cost can be reduced while achieving the same accuracy, by considering the individual simulation cost during the sampling stage. Results are confirmed by numerical simulations performed on a lattice nuclear effective field theory.

This model bypasses photon transport simulation and predicts the number of photons detected by particular photon detectors at the same level of detail as theGeant4simulation. This generative model can be used to quickly predict photon detection probability in huge liquid argon detectors like ProtoDUNE or DUNE.
