Canceling Teleportation Error in Legacy IMC Code for Photonics (Without Tilts, With Simple Minimal Modifications)

Abstract

Abstract Monte Carlo (MC) schemes for photonics have been intensively studied throughout the past decades. The recent ISMC scheme presents many advantages (no teleportation error, converging behavior with respect to the spatial and time discretisations). But it is rather different from the IMC one (it is based on a different linearization and needs a slightly different code architecture). On another hand, legacy codes are often based on IMC implementations. For this reason, it remains important to be able to cancel the teleportation error within IMC codes. Canceling the teleportation error within the IMC framework is also important for fair comparisons between both the IMC and the ISMC linearisations. This paper aims at suggesting some simple corrections to apply to an IMC implementation to completely cancel the teleportation error.
