Fig. 5. Full simulation of scattershot boson sampling and of its validation.

Fig. 5

(A) Minimum data set size to obtain 95% success probability for the validation of scattershot boson sampling data against the uniform sampler as a function of the number of input states, adopting the Aaronson and Arkhipov test. (B) Minimum data set size to obtain 95% success probability for the validation of a scattershot boson sampling experiment against the distinguishable sampler as a function of the number of input states, adopting the likelihood ratio test. (C) Time required with a laptop to calculate N = 2000 boson sampling probability distributions, each one corresponding to a different input configuration, as a function of the number of modes m, for different number of photons n.
