	\|text=~~'''Quantum~~ Boson sampling~~'''~~ is a ~~planned ScholarlyWiki page~~ in the Quantum Collection ~~about boson~~ sampling and ~~photonic~~ quantum ~~computation~~.		\|text=Boson sampling is a Book I topic in the Quantum Collection. It is a restricted model of quantum computation in which identical bosons, usually photons, pass through a linear optical network and are then detected at the outputs. The probability distribution of output patterns depends on matrix permanents, which are believed to be hard to sample classically for large systems. Boson sampling is not a universal quantum computer, but it became an important proposal for demonstrating quantum computational advantage. It connects quantum interference, indistinguishability, photonic devices, complexity theory, and experimental tests of scalable quantum optics.
