• Abstract: We introduce a general phase-space representation that includes global quantum symmetries in the basis expansion. This method, called matrix phase-space, projects the basis onto a reduced Hilbert space, which can greatly reduce sampling errors of many-body quantum simulations and unifies several previous phase-space methods. The purpose of this paper is to provide detailed proofs of basic theorems and operator identities. We also treat several different types of symmetries. To illustrate the benefits of matrix phase-space methods, we give a detailed derivation of a recent application to the topical problem of verifying the outputs of Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) quantum computers with photon number resolving detectors. This has exponential complexity, and using parity symmetry reduces sampling errors by very large factors relative to earlier methods.

  In this study, we introduce an approach that adeptly leverages permutation symmetry. By fine-tuning the SDP problem for detecting ( k )-symmetric extensions, our method markedly diminishes the searching space dimensionality. This leads to an algorithmic enhancement, reducing the complexity from ( O(d2k) ) to ( O(kd2) ) in the qudit ( k )-symmetric extension scenario.
