Using only linear optical elements, the creation of dual-rail photonic entangled states is inherently probabilistic. Known entanglement generation schemes have low success probabilities, requiring large-scale multiplexing to achieve near-deterministic operation of quantum information processing protocols. In this paper, we introduce multiple techniques and methods to generate photonic entangled states with high probability, which have the potential to reduce the footprint of Linear Optical Quantum Computing (LOQC) architectures drastically. Most notably, we are showing how to improve Bell state preparation from four single photons to up to p=2/3, boost Type-I fusion to 75% with a dual-rail Bell state ancilla and improve Type-II fusion beyond the limits of Bell state discrimination.

  1. Single-photon-boosted type-I fusion gates

    quant-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A type-I fusion gate, boosted with four single-photon ancillas and passive linear optics, reaches 3/4 success probability via a distillation protocol.

  2. Finding trail covers: near-optimal decompositions of graph states as linear fusion networks

    quant-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The fusion-minimization problem for photonic graph states is formalized as minimum trail cover; most bounded variants are NP-hard, but heuristics plus a TSP reduction give near-optimal fusion counts in benchmarks.

  3. Simulating imperfect quantum optical circuits using unsymmetrized bases

    quant-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Photonic quantum circuits with partially distinguishable photons and loss can be simulated exactly in a basis of dimension M^N rather than the much larger Fock basis.

  4. Quantifying Pauli Errors in Single-Photon Resource-State Generation

    quant-ph 2026-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    A scheme that extracts Pauli error rates for emitter-generated photonic resource states from first-order coherence and cross-correlation measurements.

  5. Adaptive Framework for Failure-Aware Protocols in Fusion-Based Graph-State Generation

    quant-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Adaptive reuse of partially built graph states after failed fusion measurements, combined with graph-theoretic ordering, can cut expected fusion overhead by orders of magnitude relative to repeat-until-success.

  6. Heralded generation of a three-mode NOON state

    quant-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A linear-optical circuit converts three single photons into a heralded three-mode two-photon NOON state with fidelity 0.823±0.018 and certified genuine tripartite entanglement.

  7. A vapor-cavity-QED system for quantum computation and communication

    quant-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A theoretical proposal shows that warm atoms transiting high-cooperativity microcavities can generate, absorb, and gate single photons with fidelities around 0.96-0.99 in modeled parameter regimes.

  8. Resource-efficient linear-optical generation of GHZ-like states

    quant-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Variable-entanglement intermediate states and a tunable non-exhaustive bleeding protocol reduce the average photon cost of generating GHZ and GHZ-like photonic states, e.g., from 10240 to 5287.6 photons for the 10-qub...

  9. Mode Distinguishability in Multi-photon Interference

    quant-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A multi-photon Hong-Ou-Mandel model combining spectral and polarization mismatch gives new fidelity expressions for quantum networking tasks.

  10. Limits of heralded photonic Bell-state generation in the presence of loss

    quant-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A comparative simulation study finds that higher-photon-number interference schemes are more loss-robust, but which heralded Bell-state scheme wins depends on the dominant error source and the implementation architecture.
