    "abstract": "Photonic quantum information processing schemes, such as linear optics\nquantum computing, and other experiments relying on single-photon interference,\ninherently require complete photon indistinguishability to enable the desired\nphotonic interactions to take place. Mode-mismatch is the dominant cause of\nphoton distinguishability in optical circuits. Here we study the effects of\nphoton wave-packet shape on tolerance against the effects of mode-mismatch in\nlinear optical circuits, and show that Gaussian distributed photons with large\nbandwidth are optimal. The result is general and holds for arbitrary linear\noptical circuits, including ones which allow for post-selection and classical\nfeed-forward.",
