  Boson sampling is a specialised algorithm native to the quantum photonic
platform developed for near-term demonstrations of quantum advantage over
classical computers. While clear useful applications for such near-term
pre-fault-tolerance devices are not currently known, reaching a quantum
advantage regime serves as a useful benchmark for the hardware. Here, we
analyse and detail hardware requirements needed to reach quantum advantage with
deterministic quantum emitters, a promising platform for photonic quantum
computing. We elucidate key steps that can be taken in experiments to overcome
practical constraints and establish quantitative hardware-level requirements.
We find that quantum advantage is within reach using quantum emitters with an
efficiency of 60%-70% and interferometers constructed according to a
hybrid-mode-encoding architecture, constituted of Mach-Zehnder interferometers
with an insertion loss of 0.0035 (a transmittance of 99.92%) per component.
