• Abstract summary: We experimentally demonstrate a testing strategy for boson samplers based on efficiently computable expressions for the output photon counting distributions binned over multiple optical modes. We show that for high values of indistinguishability, the experiment accurately reproduces the ideal boson sampling binned-mode distributions. We analyze the behavior of Haar-averaged binned-mode distributions with partial distinguishability and demonstrate analytically that its variance is proportional to the average of the square of the photons' indistinguishability parameter.

• Abstract: We experimentally demonstrate a testing strategy for boson samplers that is based on efficiently computable expressions for the output photon counting distributions binned over multiple optical modes. We apply this method to validate boson sampling experiments with three photons on a reconfigurable photonic chip, which implements a four-mode interferometer, analyzing 50 Haar-random unitary transformations while tuning photon distinguishability via controlled delays. We show that for high values of indistinguishability, the experiment accurately reproduces the ideal boson sampling binned-mode distributions, which exhibit variations that depend both on the specific interferometer implemented as well as the choice of bin, confirming the usefulness of the method to diagnose imperfections such as partial distinguishability or imperfect chip control. Finally, we analyze the behavior of Haar-averaged binned-mode distributions with partial distinguishability and demonstrate analytically that its variance is proportional to the average of the square of the photons' indistinguishability parameter. These findings highlight the central role of binning in boson sampling validation, offering a scalable and efficient framework for assessing multiphoton interference and experimental performance.

  We develop a comprehensive model for the effective two-photon density matrix produced by a parametric source of entangled photon pairs.

Our work provides a valuable tool for the quantitative design of two-photon experiments under realistic nonidealities.

  Boson sampling is one of the main quantum computation models to demonstrate the quantum computational advantage. Inspired by the Bayesian validation extended to evaluate whether distinguishability is too high to demonstrate this advantage, the pattern recognition validation is extended for boson sampling. The distribution of characteristic values is nearly monotonically changed with indistinguishability, especially when photons are close to be indistinguishable.
