• Abstract: Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) states are essential non-Gaussian resources for fault-tolerant photonic quantum computing, enabling logical qubit encoding with intrinsic robustness against errors. Several approaches to GKP state preparation have been explored, including measurement-based protocols in circuit QED and trapped-ion systems, cat-state breeding, and photon-subtraction schemes. However, these methods are either restricted to specific platforms or require deep non-Gaussian resource chains with exponentially low success probabilities. Gaussian Boson Sampling (GBS) offers a compelling all-photonic alternative by generating non-Gaussian states through measurement-induced nonlinearity, without the need for matter-based ancilla or active feedforward. Nevertheless, its practical implementation is limited by the exponential computational cost of evaluating matrix hafnians-#P-complete functions that govern photon-number probabilities. To address this challenge, we introduce a two-stage Histogram Gradient Boosting surrogate pipeline that predicts, without any hafnian computation, the optimal heralding pattern, circuit fidelity, and post-selection probability for candidate GBS circuits, while reserving exact quantum simulation exclusively for surrogate-selected candidates. Trained on circuit configurations across 3-5 optical modes, the surrogate achieves 90.0% GKP-detection accuracy on a held-out set, representing a 23.7 percentage-point improvement over the baseline, with a fidelity mean absolute error of 0.032 and a log-scale post-selection probability $R^2 = 0.837$, reducing the total simulation burden by approximately 90%.
