Photonic fusion operations transform partial distinguishability
S. N. van den Hoven, G. B. Lamers, J. J. Renema
Photonic fusion operations are a central primitive in photonic quantum information processing and are commonly characterized by their success probability and resource cost. Here, w…
A Quantum-Inspired Algorithm for Graph Isomorphism
Innes L. Maxwell, Stefan N. van den Hoven, Jelmer J. Renema
The Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era of technology in which we currently find ourselves is defined by non-universality, susceptibility to errors and noise, and a search…
Quantum advantage for single-photon state characterization
S. N. van den Hoven, M. C. Anguita, S. Marzban +1
We propose a multiphoton interference protocol that characterizes the pairwise overlaps of the internal modes of single photons more efficiently than pairwise Hong-Ou-Mandel charac…
Efficient classical algorithm for simulating boson sampling with heterogeneous partial distinguishability
S. N. van den Hoven, E. Kanis, J. J. Renema
Boson sampling is one of the leading protocols for demonstrating a quantum advantage, but the theory of how this protocol responds to noise is still incomplete. We extend the theor…
Photon distillation schemes with reduced resource costs based on multiphoton Fourier interference
F. H. B. Somhorst, B. K. Sauër, S. N. van den Hoven +1
We present a scalable scheme to achieve photon distillation, i.e. the preparation of a single photon with reduced indistinguishability error out of multiple imperfect photons, base…
Purifying photon indistinguishability through quantum interference
Carlos F. D. Faurby, Lorenzo Carosini, Huan Cao +9
Indistinguishability between photons is a key requirement for scalable photonic quantum technologies. We experimentally demonstrate that partly distinguishable single photons can b…
