Abstract

We will present progress in ultrafast all-optical quantum switching. c(3)-based devices can route entangled photons without disturbing their quantum state, whereas c(2)-based devices can, in principle, lead to dissipation-free quantum-optical Fredkin gates.

Quantum optical Fredkin gate

Gerard J Milburn

A simple optical model to realize a reversible, potentially error-free logic gate---a Fredkin gate---is discussed. The device dissipates no energy and makes use of the Kerr nonlinearity to produce intensity-dependent phase shifts. The analysis shows that quantum mechanics permits the operation of error-free logic gates which dissipate no energy. However, even though the device is nondissipative, error-free performance only occurs under particular operating conditions.
