Quantum Logic Operations Using Single Photons and the Zeno Effect

arXiv:quant-ph/0401133 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.70.062302

Abstract

We show that the quantum Zeno effect can be used to implement several quantum logic gates for photonic qubits, including a gate that is similar to the square-root of SWAP operation. The operation of these devices depends on the fact that photons can behave as if they were non-interacting fermions instead of bosons in the presence of a strong Zeno effect. These results are discussed within the context of several no-go theorems for non-interacting fermions or bosons.
