Fock Space Perspective on Optimal Heralding Schemes
Gubarev, F. V. · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2021
We address the design of optimal heralding schemes in linear optical quantum computing context. The problem admits unit fidelity formulation in relevant Fock space, thanks to linear optic feasibility criteria of [Phys. Rev. A100, 022301; arXiv:1901.06178]. Corresponding solution methodology is presented. As an application we inspect optimality of a few known schemes of Bell states generation. It is shown that in case of six modes and two ancillary photons success rate 2/27 is suboptimal.
