Abstract
We study the realization of quantum algorithms using classical optical elements and a coherent laser source. The encoded qubits are present in form of path qubits, polarization and orbital angular momentum. In particular, we propose an implementation for the Deutsch Algorithm in a Sagnac interferometer and the Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm in a ring cavity.
