Quantum-inspired permanent identities

Abstract: The permanent is pivotal to both complexity theory and combinatorics. In quantum computing, the permanent appears in the expression of output amplitudes of linear optical computations, such as in the Boson Sampling model. Taking advantage of this connection, we give quantum-inspired proofs of many existing as well as new remarkable permanent identities. Most notably, we give a quantum-inspired proof of the MacMahon master theorem as well as proofs for new generalizations of this theorem. Previous proofs of thi… Show more

“…A generalized formula for the permanent has been found along similar lines [55,56]. Furthermore, it is worthwhile to note that different permanent identities have been proven in a quantum-inspired way in [57]. There the Glynn formula has, e.g., been proven using cat states.…”

“…If one exploits the symmetry of the transition function in the phase space, there can render a nontrivial approximation algorithm for the corresponding matrix function. Since there can be several equivalent choices of circuits for the same matrix function, e.g., permanent of unitary matrix [40,41], finding the optimal circuit is still an interesting open problem. After a proper circuit choice, there are other optimization problems, such as choosing quasiprobability representation and optimizing parameters for manipulating them in the phase space.…”

“…One use of this framework goes beyond simulation. We can show an example of this by deriving a general (exact) equation for computing LO transitions (which is equivalent to permanent based expressions 26,27 ). Let us take two n photon states | n 1 = |n 1,1 , .…”

Whilst we saw above the cost to compute a transition probability…”
