Overcoming experimental limitations in a non-linear two-qubit gate through postselection

Abstract
We introduce a modular-value two-qubit gate and explore its advantages in experimentally-limited situations. The gate is defined such that the final state of a target qubit is fully controlled by a pre- and post-selection procedure in a control qubit given an (imperfect or technically limited) intermediate conditional qubit-qubit interaction. As an example of the gate and its benefit, we make the connection to a postselected cross phase modulation scenario when a undesired absorption is present. Probabilistic amplification of a small cross phase while mitigating relative absorption is possible, and a complementary behaviour between phase and amplitude emerges.
