Abstract

Using linear optical elements we have demonstrated a deterministic Controlled-NOT gate for a quantum logic protocol that uses the polarization and momentum degrees of freedom of a single photon as the control and target qubits.

Deterministic Controlled-NOT Gate For Single-Photon Two-Qubit Quantum Logic

Marco Fiorentino B, Franco N. C. Wong

We demonstrate a robust implementation of a deterministic linear-optical controlled-not gate for single-photon two-qubit quantum logic. A polarization Sagnac interferometer with an embedded 45 degrees -oriented dove prism is used to enable the polarization control qubit to act on the momentum (spatial) target qubit of the same photon. The optical controlled-not gate requires no active stabilization because the two spatial modes share a common path, and it is used to entangle the polarization and momentum qubits.

Single-Photon Two-Qubit Logic Gates

Marco Fiorentino B

We present experimental results of deterministic linear optical Controlled‐NOT and SWAP gates for single‐photon two‐qubit quantum logic. In our implementation one qubit is encoded in the polarization degree of freedom of the photon and the other is encoded in the momentum. Momentum‐ and polarization‐controlled NOT gates are demonstrated. They are then combined to form a SWAP gate to convert pairs of momentum‐entangled photons into polarization‐entangled photons.

Quantum CNOT gates with orbital angular momentum and polarization of single-photon quantum logic

Li-Ping Deng, Haibo Wang, Kaige Wang

We propose a polarization-controlled-NOT (P-CNOT) gate and an orbital-angular-momentum-controlled-NOT (OAM-CNOT) gate for single-photon two-qubit quantum logic. Both of the controlled-NOT (CNOT) gates are simple and deterministic. Moreover the entanglement swap between polarization and orbital angular momentum (OAM) can be realized using the P-CNOT gate and the OAM-CNOT gate.

We propose a linear, single-photon, deterministic controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate implemented by a polarization-sensitive spatial light modulator. The polarization qubit controls the photon orbital angular momentum qubits.

Experimental Controlled-NOT Logic Gate for Single Photons

We report a proof-of-principle demonstration of a probabilistic controlled-NOT gate for single photons. Single-photon control and target qubits were mixed with a single ancilla photon in a device constructed using only linear optical elements. The successful operation of the controlled-NOT gate relied on post-selected three-photon interference effects which required the detection of the photons in the output modes.

Realization of a deterministic quantum Toffoli gate with a single photon

Shihao Ru, Yunlong Wang, Min An +3 more

Quantum controlled-logic gates, including controlled not gate and Toffoli gate, play critical roles in lots of quantum information processing schemes. We design and experimentally demonstrate deterministic Toffoli gate by utilizing orbital-angular-momentum and polarization degrees of freedom of a single photon. In addition, we generate Bell states by using the controlled not gate. The effective conversion rate of the Toffoli gate in our experiment is $(95.1\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}3.2)%$. Furthermore, our experimental setup does not require any auxiliary photons and probabilistic postselections.
