69. While completing this Letter, we came across different approaches (see Refs. [70], [71], and [72] for details) from the one leading to Eq. (11) to describe the so-called boson sampling problem (BSP) [27] for arbitrary spectral distributions of the input bosons. Differently from these approaches, our analysis highlights the dependence of the N-boson sampling probability rates [see Eq. (6)] on the experimental detection times and polarizations, which is at the heart of the physics of the more fundamental task of multiboson correlation sampling, as already described. Furthermore, the experimental emergence of the N-boson sampling probabilities [see Eq. (11)] averaging over all possible detection times allows us to fully physically describe how the interference between all the possible N! multiboson quantum paths depends on the N-boson distinguishability at the detectors.
