Anticoncentration and entanglement in Gaussian boson sampling

Abstract:Anticoncentration and entanglement are two properties used to study classical hardness or easiness of Gaussian boson sampling in varying regimes. In this paper, we consider three directions concerning anticoncentration and entanglement in Gaussian boson sampling: (1) We derive closed-form expressions for the second moment of hafnians of symmetric Gaussian products, and use this to precisely locate the anticoncentration transition as a function of the number of squeezed input modes. (2) We derive closed-form expressions for the Rényi-$\alpha$ Page curves for Gaussian boson sampling. (3) We study unequal input squeezing parameters $(s_i)_i$, and prove estimates as well as monotonicity of the average-case Rényi-2 entropy Page curve in terms of the magnitudes $|s_i|$, which allow for extending equal squeezing results to unequal squeezing.
