  • The first experimental demonstrations of Boson sampling were reported with n = 3 photons, mainly in integrated photonics.

    “The first experimental demonstrations of Boson sampling were reported with n = 3 photons [91-95], mainly in integrated photonics.”

    From Integrated photonic quantum technologies (2020) · cites this paper as [94]

    The Boson sampling section says several groups made early small-scale experimental demonstrations, supporting that part of the claim. It describes experiments with up to four coincident photons, however, and does not specify that the first demonstrations used three photons or were mainly in integrated photonics; the References list a photonic-chip experiment but do not establish that it was the predominant approach. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The scalability of parametric down-conversion sources and the relevance of non-ideal detector efficiencies have been addressed and investigated experimentally in 2015 with the Scattershot implementation.

    “Furthermore, the scalability of parametric down-conversion sources and the relevance of non-ideal detectors' efficiencies have been addressed in Ref. [579] and investigated experimentally in 2015 with the Scattershot implementation [580,581]”

    From Photonic quantum information processing: a review (2019) · cites this paper as [579]

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
