Photonic Graph States Needed Up to 30% Fewer Emitters
Four polynomial heuristics optimized emission order for random graphs.
Summary
Four polynomial heuristics optimized emission order for random graphs.
The algorithms target linear-rank-width structure to reduce the number of quantum emitters needed for deterministic photonic graph-state generation. Numerical tests report reductions up to 30% on random graphs, with about 20% further gate savings when combined with earlier optimizers. These are heuristic results, not proofs of minimum hardware for every graph family.
