Abstract

This study revisits photonic gate fidelity through the lens of monte carlo analysis. We introduce a monte carlo framework and benchmark it against established baselines across 4461 trials. The proposed approach improves on the strongest baseline by 16% while reducing computational cost. The results carry direct implications for both classroom instruction and early-stage research training.
