• Abstract: The effects of optical loss and photon distinguishability on the heralded generation of entangled states based on Gaussian resources are quantitatively investigated. By incorporating mode-dependent loss and the statistical characteristics of partially distinguishable photons into a phase-space representation, an efficient numerical framework is established to optimize target-state fidelity and success probability, with a specific focus on the enhancement triggered by non-Gaussian operations such as photon addition and subtraction. The numerical optimization results indicate that a non-vacuum post-selection strategy within a dual-rail encoding framework, combined with the simultaneous tuning of squeezing parameters and the interferometer network, effectively suppresses vacuum noise, enabling the generation of high-fidelity Bell, GHZ, and W states under realistic experimental constraints. The results show that introducing non-Gaussian operations can successfully enhance the state generation performance under realistic imperfections analogous to the enhancements observed under ideal conditions. This study demonstrates that experimental imperfections primarily scale down the success probability rather than fundamentally compromising the state fidelity, providing practical design guidelines for scalable state engineering on integrated photonic platforms.
