- Abstract: We introduce matrix quantum phase-space distributions. These extend the idea of a quantum phase-space representation via projections onto a density matrix of global symmetry variables. The method is applied to verification of low-loss Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) quantum computational advantage experiments with up to 10,000 modes, where classically generating photon-number counts is exponentially hard. We demonstrate improvements in sampling error by a factor of 1000 or more compared to unprojected methods, which are infeasible for such cases.

We present an evaluation scheme that eliminates the need for a minimum photon flux and the usual binning of photon events.
By virtue of this approach we can determine on- and off-switching rates of a semiconductor quantum dot at light levels 1000 times lower than in a standard experiment.

We explore the use of dynamical diffusion gauges in quantum dynamics simulations.
For the physical systems with fermionic particles considered here, the numerical evaluation of the new diffusion gauges allows us to double the practical simulation time.

Quantum detection of light is mostly relegated to the microscale.
The ability to perform measurements to resolve photon numbers is highly desirable for a variety of quantum information applications.
In this work, we extend photon measurement into the mesoscopic regime by implementing a detection scheme based on multiplexing highly quantum-efficient transition-edge sensors.
