Abstract

Elements of the coincidence-CNOT (controlled-NOT) are experimentally demonstrated, which includes a bright photon source with good spatial mode quality; nonclassical interferometry; improved photon detection; and tomographic analysis. The logical circuit of the coincidence-CNOT is described in the paper.

Linear optical controlled-NOT gate in the coincidence basis

Timothy C. Ralph, Nathan K. Langford, T. B. Bell +1 more

We describe the operation and tolerances of a nondeterministic, coincidence basis, quantum controlled-NOT gate for photonic qubits. It is constructed solely from linear optical elements and requires only a two-photon source for its demonstration. Its success probability is $1/9.$

Experimental Demonstration of a Nondestructive Controlled-NOT Quantum Gate for Two Independent Photon Qubits

Zhi Zhao, An‐Ning Zhang, Yu-Ao Chen +4 more

Universal logic gates for two quantum bits (qubits) form an essential ingredient of quantum information processing. However, photons, one of the best candidates for qubits, suffer from a lack of strong nonlinear coupling, which is required for quantum logic operations. Here we show how this drawback can be overcome by reporting a proof-of-principle experimental demonstration of a nondestructive controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate for two independent photons using only linear optical elements in conjunction with single-photon sources and conditional dynamics. Moreover, we exploit the CNOT gate to discriminate all four Bell states in a teleportation experiment.

Experimental Teleportation of a Quantum Controlled-NOT Gate

Yun‐Feng Huang, Xi‐Feng Ren, Yong-Sheng Zhang +2 more

Teleportation of quantum gates is a critical step for the implementation of quantum networking and teleportation-based models of quantum computation. We report an experimental demonstration of teleportation of the prototypical quantum controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate. Assisted with linear optical manipulations, photon entanglement produced from parametric down-conversion, and postselection from the coincidence measurements, we teleport the quantum CNOT gate from acting on local qubits to acting on remote qubits. The quality of the quantum gate teleportation is characterized through the method of quantum process tomography, with an average fidelity of 0.84 demonstrated for the teleported gate.

Efficient linear optical quantum computation

We consider realizing the efficient linear optical quantum computing scheme of Knill, Laflamme and Milburn [Nature 409, 46 (2001)]. A number of the issues in implementing a coincidence-basis version of a CNOT gate are addressed experimentally, including source brightness and mode quality.

Experimental controlled-NOT logic gate for single photons in the coincidence basis

T. B. Pittman, Michael J. Fitch, B. C. Jacobs +1 more

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.
