Remote probabilistic controlled-NOT operation using atomic ensembles
Chao Han, Guang‐Can Guo
Abstract
Controlled-NOT operation is an important unit of quantum computation. We propose an experimentally feasible scheme of remote controlled-NOT operation using entanglement between two atomic ensembles. The scheme involves laser manipulation of atomic ensembles, adjustable quarter- and half-wave plates, beam splitters, polarizing beam splitters and single-photon detectors, and well fits the status of the current experimental technology.
