Quantum Computing Using Single Photons and the Zeno Effect
J. D. Franson, B. C. Jacobs, T. B. Pittman
We show that the quantum Zeno effect can be used to suppress the failure events that would otherwise occur in a linear optics approach to quantum computing. From a practical viewpo…
Heralding Single Photons from Pulsed Parametric Down-Conversion
T. B. Pittman, B. C Jacobs, J. D. Franson
We describe an experiment in which photon pairs from a pulsed parametric down-conversion source were coupled into single-mode fibers. Detecting one of the photons heralded the pres…
Quantum Computing using Linear Optics
T. B. Pittman, B. C. Jacobs, J. D. Franson
Quantum computers are expected to be able to solve mathematical problems that cannot be solved using conventional computers. Many of these problems are of practical importance, esp…
Comment on Photon Exchange Interactions
J. D. Franson
We previously suggested that photon exchange interactions could be used to produce nonlinear effects at the two-photon level, and similar effects have been experimentally observed…
Experimental Demonstration of a Quantum Circuit using Linear Optics Gates
T. B. Pittman, B. C Jacobs, J. D. Franson
One of the main advantages of an optical approach to quantum computing is the fact that optical fibers can be used to connect the logic and memory devices to form useful circuits,…
Quantum Logic Operations Using Single Photons and the Zeno Effect
J. D. Franson, B. C. Jacobs, T. B. Pittman
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…
