Measurement-induced non-commutativity in adaptive fermionic linear optics

The research investigates whether adding mid-circuit measurement and classical feedforward to fermionic linear optics circuits creates sampling hardness for noninteracting fermions. By monitoring which blocks are occupied, researchers found that this process induces non-commutativity in the branch amplitudes, suggesting a route to hard sampling problems without needing complex two-body interactions.
