  bibo_abstract:
  - Simulating vibronic spectra is a central task in physical chemistry, offering
    insight into important properties of molecules. Recently, it has been experimentally
    demonstrated that photonic platforms based on Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) are
    capable of performing these simulations. However, whether an actual GBS approach
    is required depends on the molecule under investigation. To develop a better understanding
    on the requirements for simulating vibronic spectra, we explore connections between
    theoretical approximations in physical chemistry and their photonic counterparts.
    Mapping these approximations into photonics, we show that for certain molecules
    the GBS approach is unnecessary. We place special emphasis on the linear coupling
    approximation, which in photonics corresponds to sampling from multiple coherent
    states. By implementing this approach in experiments, we demonstrate improved
    similarities over previously reported GBS results for formic acid and identify
    the particular attributes that a molecule must exhibit for this, and other approximations,
    to be valid. These results highlight the importance in forming deeper connections
    between traditional methods and photonic approaches.@eng
