Classical simulation of linear optics subject to nonuniform losses
We present a comprehensive study of the impact of non-uniform, i.e. path-dependent, photonic losses on the computational complexity of linear-optical processes. Our main result states that, if each beam splitter in a network induces some loss probability, non-uniform network designs cannot circumven...
