• Abstract: Ancillary photons allow passive linear-optical Bell-state discrimination to exceed the one-half probability of success limit achievable with vacuum auxiliary modes. For a fixed analyzer and ancillary resource, the discrimination probability is determined by the photon-counting patterns that occur uniquely for each Bell input. We develop a photon-number-resolved tree tensor network method for evaluating these detector supports in recursively structured analyzers. Photon-number conservation and mode symmetries separate most of the Bell-state outputs before the remaining detector support is examined. We establish a tree tensor network based construction to evaluate the remaining support without need of recalling all relevant photon detector patterns separately. We apply the method to recursive, product, and asymmetric ancillary states with up to $32$ optical modes and reproduce known analytical and literature benchmarks. For factorized ancillary resources with fixed photon numbers in halves of the analyzer and the symmetry property used in our analysis, we also derive an exact composition relation; for reflected asymmetric pairings the success probability is the arithmetic mean of the corresponding symmetric configurations. The complete enumeration for smaller systems, permanent-based amplitude calculations, and independent evaluations provide additional checks of the numerical results.
