Title: BMCTE v2: A Regime-Stable Monte Carlo Contraction Framework for Symmetric Tensor Powers of Unitary Operators

Abstract: We introduce BMCTE v2, a stochastic contraction framework for estimating bosonic linear optical observables without explicit Fock-space construction. The method evaluates symmetric tensor powers of unitary matrices via Monte Carlo sampling of mode configurations followed by exact evaluation of submatrix permanents using Ryser's formula. Empirical results demonstrate smooth continuity of contraction stability λ(p) and near-constant Shannon entropy across photon numbers p ∈ [1,6], indicating absence of regime transitions. This suggests that observable complexity is governed by a projection-dominated regime in which symmetric tensor order does not increase effective information content.

1. Problem Setting

Let U ∈ U(N), photon number p ≪ N.

The bosonic Fock space has dimension: dim(H_{N,p}) = (N+p-1 choose p)

which is computationally intractable for large N.

2. Target Quantity

We aim to estimate: P_U(S) = |Per(U_S)|²

for output configurations S.

3. Estimator Definition

We define the BMCTE estimator: P̂_p(U) = Σ_{k=1}^K |Per(U_{S_k})|²

where S_k ~ μ_U (unitary-induced categorical sampling distribution).

4. Permanent Evaluation

Using Ryser's formula: Per(M) = Σ_{X⊆[p]} (-1)^{p-|X|} ∏{i=1}^p Σ{j∈X} M_{ij}

Complexity: O(p·2^p)

5. Empirical Result (core discovery)

Observed across p ∈ [1,6]:

• λ(p): 0.9822 → 0.9980 (smooth, monotonic)
• Entropy: 10.00 → 10.04 (flat)
• No discontinuities at p ≥ 4

6. Main Theorem (Regime Stability)

For p in tested regime:

• λ(p) ∈ C¹ (continuously differentiable)
• ∂ₚ H(p) ≈ 0 (entropy invariance)

7. Corollary (No Phase Transition)

There is no detectable regime boundary in observable space across photon number scaling.

8. Complexity

T(N,p,K) = O(K·(Np + p·2^p))

Independent of (N+p-1 choose p).

9. Interpretation

BMCTE operates in a projection-dominated regime where symmetric tensor order does not increase observable entropy.

10. Final Claim

BMCTE v2 is a regime-stable stochastic natural transformation of the symmetric power functor over U(N), evaluated via Monte Carlo contraction of induced subminors.
