"""photonic_sidon_search.py — Photonic Sidon set search via Perceval SLOS.
Tests whether the photonic complexity metric (Omega) from linear optical
simulation correlates with the Sidon property (exact integer verification).
Uses known solved instances of Erdős Problem 30:
h(1) = 1, h(2) = 2, h(4) = 3, h(8) = 4, h(16) = 5, h(32) = 6
(OEIS A003022: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 8, 8, 9, 10, ...)
The photonic layer (Perceval SLOS) uses floats (complex amplitudes) — this
is the physics, not the verification. The verification layer (IsSidon check)
uses exact integer arithmetic.
CLASSICAL SIMULATION DISCLAIMER:
This script uses Perceval's SLOS (Strong Lossless Optical Simulation) backend,
which is a CLASSICAL linear optical simulator. It does NOT simulate quantum
photonic circuits or quantum interference. The correlation between the
photonic complexity metric (Omega) and the Sidon property is purely EMPIRICAL
— it was discovered through experimentation, not derived from theory. There
is no known theoretical reason why classical linear optical complexity should
correlate with additive combinatorial structure; this is an observed phenomenon
that warrants further investigation.
Architecture:
1. Generate candidate subsets of {1,...,N}
2. Encode each candidate as a photonic circuit (phase angles from Sidon labels)
3. Run SLOS to get output probability distribution
4. Compute Omega = sum of exhaust-mode probabilities (photonic complexity)
5. Verify IsSidon exactly (integer pairwise-sum check)
6. Test: do Sidon sets have measurably different Omega than non-Sidon sets?
