• Abstract: We experimentally investigated a single-qubit quantum classifier implemented on a silicon photonic integrated circuit, focusing on its performance under photon-limited conditions. Using the Data Reuploading method with layer-wise optimization via Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO), input data were encoded into the photonic circuit, and classification was performed based on output detection probabilities. Heralded single photons, generated via spontaneous four-wave mixing in a silicon waveguide, served as the input states. Even when the average number of photon samples per input was reduced to approximately two, the classifier achieved nearly 90\% accuracy, provided that the training dataset was sufficiently large. The experimental results were consistent with numerical simulations, which also indicated that performance at low sample sizes can be improved by increasing the size of the training dataset. These findings demonstrate that photonic quantum classifiers can operate effectively with very few photons, supporting their practical feasibility for resource-efficient quantum machine learning on integrated photonic platforms.

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.

  We present a method to certify that noise levels are low enough to allow potentially useful applications to be carried out. We propose a series of benchmark tests targetting two main sources of noise, namely photon loss and distinguishability. Our method results in a single-number metric, the Photonic Quality Factor, defined as the largest number of input photons for which the output statistics pass all tests.

  Machine learning inspired variational methods provide a promising route towards scalable state characterization for quantum simulators. We benchmark and compare several such approaches by applying them to measured data from an experiment producing two-qubit entangled states. We find that in the presence of experimental imperfections and noise, confining the variational manifold to physical states greatly improves the quality of the reconstructed states.
