Abstract

We report a linear optical Fredkin gate using an entanglement resource and an expanded Hilbert space. Additionally we demonstrate verification of weak entanglement which does not require trust in the measurement devices or their operators.

Quantifying the strength of optical communication devices using entanglement measures

Nathan Killoran, Norbert Lütkenhaus

The quantum nature of an optical device can be verified using benchmarks based on entanglement verification. Without requiring additional resources, we show how to rigourously extend such benchmarks to quantify how well devices preserve entanglement.

A quantum Fredkin gate

Raj B. Patel, Joseph Ho, Franck Ferreyrol +2 more

We report the first demonstration of a quantum Fredkin gate using linear optics. In addition to excellent performance in the logical basis, the gate can generate high-fidelity GHZ states and is used in small-scale algorithms.

Extending Quantum Optical Benchmarks with Entanglement Measures

Nathan Killoran, Norbert Lütkenhaus

Benchmarks based on entanglement verification can show when optical devices are in the quantum domain. Using no additional resources, we extend existing benchmarks to rigorously quantify the entanglement, covering nearly all of the quantum domain.

Low-Cost Fredkin Gate with Auxiliary Space

Wen‐Qiang Liu, Hai‐Rui Wei, L. C. Kwek

Effective quantum information processing is tantamount in part to minimization of the quantum resources needed by quantum logic gates. Here, we propose an optimization of an $n$-controlled-qubit Fredkin gate with a maximum of $2n+1$ two-qubit gates and $2n$ single-qudit gates by exploiting auxiliary Hilbert spaces. The number of logic gates required improves on earlier results on simulating arbitrary $n$-qubit Fredkin gates. In particular, the optimal result for a one-controlled-qubit Fredkin gate (which requires three qutrit-qubit partial-swap gates) breaks the theoretical nonconstructive lower bound of five two-qubit gates. Furthermore, using an additional spatial-mode degree of freedom, we design a possible architecture to implement a polarization-encoded Fredkin gate with linear optical elements.

Linear optical Fredkin gate based on partial-SWAP gate

Jaromı́r Fiurášek

We propose a scheme for linear optical quantum Fredkin gate based on the combination of recently experimentally demonstrated linear optical partial-SWAP gate and controlled-Z gates. Both heralded gate and simplified post-selected gate operating in the coincidence basis are designed. The suggested setups have a simple structure and require stabilization of only a single Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A proof-of-principle experimental demonstration of the post-selected Fredkin gate appears to be feasible and within the reach of current technology.
