Boson sampling is expected to be one of an important milestones that will demonstrate quantum supremacy. The present work establishes the benchmarking of Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) with threshold detection based on the Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer. To achieve the best performance and provide a competitive scenario for future quantum computing studies, the selected simulation algorithm is fully optimized based on a set of innovative approaches, including a parallel scheme and instruction-level optimizing method. Furthermore, data precision and instruction scheduling are handled in a sophisticated manner by an adaptive precision optimization scheme and a DAG-based heuristic search algorithm, respectively. Based on these methods, a highly efficient and parallel quantum sampling algorithm is designed. The largest run enables us to obtain one Torontonian function of a 100 x 100 submatrix from 50-photon GBS within 20 hours in 128-bit precision and 2 days in 256-bit precision.

Radiation damage to the steel material of reactor pressure vessels is a major threat to the nuclear reactor safety. It is caused by the metal atom cascade collision, initialized when the atoms are struck by a high-energy neutron. The paper presents MISA-MD, a new implementation of molecular dynamics, to simulate such cascade collision with EAM potential. MISA-MD realizes (1) a hash-based data structure to efficiently store an atom and find its neighbors, and (2) several acceleration and optimization strategies based on SW26010 processor of Sunway Taihulight supercomputer, including an efficient potential table storage and interpolation method, a coloring method to avoid write conflicts, and double-buffer and data reuse strategies. The experimental results demonstrated that MISA-MD has good accuracy and scalability, and obtains a parallel efficiency of over 79% in an 655-billion-atom system. Compared with a state-of-the-art MD program LAMMPS, MISA-MD requires less memory usage and achieves better computational performance.
Gaussian boson sampling is a promising scheme for demonstrating a quantum computational advantage using photonic states that are accessible in a laboratory and, thus, offer scalable sources of quantum light. In this contribution, we study two-point photon-number correlation functions to gain insight into the interference of Gaussian states in optical networks. We investigate the characteristic features of statistical signatures which enable us to distinguish classical from quantum interference. In contrast to the typical implementation of boson sampling, we find additional contributions to the correlators under study which stem from the phase dependence of Gaussian states and which are not observable when Fock states interfere. Using the first three moments, we formulate the tools required to experimentally observe signatures of quantum interference of Gaussian states using two outputs only. By considering the current architectural limitations in realistic experiments, we further show that a statistically significant discrimination between quantum and classical interference is possible even in the presence of loss, noise, and a finite photon-number resolution. Therefore, we formulate and apply a theoretical framework to benchmark the quantum features of Gaussian boson sampling under realistic conditions.
Boson Sampling has emerged as a tool to explore the advantages of quantum over classical computers as it does not require a universal control over the quantum system, which favours current photonic experimental platforms.Here, we introduce Gaussian Boson Sampling, a classically hard-to-solve problem that uses squeezed states as a non-classical resource. We relate the probability to measure specific photon patterns from a general Gaussian state in the Fock basis to a matrix function called the hafnian, which answers the last remaining question of sampling from Gaussian states. Based on this result, we design Gaussian Boson Sampling, a #P hard problem, using squeezed states. This approach leads to a more efficient photonic boson sampler with significant advantages in generation probability and measurement time over currently existing protocols.
Gaussian Boson sampling (GBS) provides a highly efficient approach to make use of squeezed states from parametric down-conversion to solve a classically hard-to-solve sampling problem. The GBS protocol not only significantly enhances the photon generation probability, compared to standard boson sampling with single photon Fock states, but also links to potential applications such as dense subgraph problems and molecular vibronic spectra. Here, we report the first experimental demonstration of GBS using squeezed-state sources with simultaneously high photon indistinguishability and collection efficiency. We implement and validate 3-, 4- and 5-photon GBS with high sampling rates of 832 kHz, 163 kHz and 23 kHz, respectively, which is more than 4.4, 12.0, and 29.5 times faster than the previous experiments. Further, we observe a quantum speed-up on a NP-hard optimization problem when comparing with simulated thermal sampler and uniform sampler.
A new algorithm which is called Store-zechin, and utilizes stored data repetitively for calculating the permanent of an n * n matrix is proposed. The analysis manifests that the numbers of multiplications and additions taken by the new algorithm are respectively far smaller than those taken by the famous Ryser algorithm. Especially, for a 5-boson sampling task, the running time of the Store-zechin algorithm computing the correspondent permanent on ENIAC as well as TRADIC is lower than that of the sampling operation on a multiphoton boson sampling machine (shortly MPBSM), and thus MPBSM does not beat the early classical computers (despite of this, it is possible that when n gets large enough, a quantum boson sampling machine will beat a classical computer). On a computer, people can design an algorithm that exchanges space for time while on MPBSM, people can not do so, which is the greatest difference between a universal computer and MPBSM. This difference is right the reason why MPBSM may not be called a (photonic) quantum computer.
