- Abstract summary: We introduce protocols for the distillation of indistinguishable photons.
The protocols reduce distinguishability error rates by a factor of $n$, with resource requirements scaling linearly in $n$.
We observe that the same symmetry properties governing suppression laws are instrumental in understanding the behavior of these protocols.

- Abstract: Highly pure and indistinguishable photons are a prerequisite for use in quantum information processing. We introduce protocols for the distillation of indistinguishable photons that offer a significant improvement over previous work, reducing distinguishability error rates by a factor of $n$, with resource requirements scaling linearly in $n$. We present the protocols, based on the discrete Fourier transform, Hadamard (Sylvester) matrices, and more general Fourier transforms on finite abelian groups, then give both analytical and numerical results regarding their performance. We observe that the same symmetry properties governing suppression laws are instrumental in understanding the behavior of these distillation protocols. We also prove that for the $n$-photon discrete Fourier transform, the suppression laws are exactly characterized by the well-known Zero Transmission Law based on permutation symmetry if and only if $n$ is a prime power.

in a bosonic mode assisted by an ancillary qubit [50.591267188664666]
Bosonic quantum error correcting codes are primarily designed to protect against single-photon loss.
Error correction requires a recovery operation that maps the error states -- which have opposite parity -- back onto the code states.
Here, we realize a collection of photon-number-selective, simultaneous photon addition operations on a bosonic mode.

We propose a new class of transformers in which the dot-product kernels are replaced by the novel generalized Fourier integral kernels.
Compared to the conventional transformers with dot-product attention, FourierFormers attain better accuracy and reduce the redundancy between attention heads.
We empirically corroborate the advantages of FourierFormers over the baseline transformers in a variety of practical applications including language modeling and image classification.

We also consider the generation of cat states from photon-added and photon-subtracted squeezed states, improving over known schemes by introducing additional squeezing operations.

A reliable source of identical (indistinguishable) photons is a prerequisite for interference effects.
We present a protocol which can be used to increase the indistinguishability of a photon source, to arbitrary accuracy.
We demonstrate the scheme is robust to detection and control errors in the optical components, and discuss the effect of other error sources.
