We have proposed and demonstrated a general and scalable scheme for programmable unitary gates. Our method is based on matrix decomposition into diagonal and Fourier factors. Thus, we are able to construct arbitrary matrix operators only by diagonal matrices alternately acting on two photonic encoding bases that belong to a Fourier transform pair. Thus, the technical difficulties to implement arbitrary unitary operators are significantly reduced. As examples, two protocols for optical OAM and path domain are considered to verify our proposal and evaluate the performance. For OAM domain, unitary matrices with dimensionality up to 6*6 are achieved and discussed with the numerical simulations. For path domain, an average fidelity of 0.98 is evaluated through 80 experimental results with dimensionality of 3*3. Furthermore, our proposal is also potential to provide a quantum operation protocol for any other photonic domain, if there exists the corresponding transformed domain.
Birkhoffs theorem tells that any doubly stochastic matrix can be decomposed as a weighted sum of permutation matrices. A similar theorem reveals that any unitary matrix can be decomposed as a weighted sum of complex permutation matrices. Unitary matr
Electron transport in realistic physical and chemical systems often involves the non-trivial exchange of energy with a large environment, requiring the definition and treatment of open quantum systems. Because the time evolution of an open quantum sy
We study a method of producing approximately diagonal 1-qubit gates. For each positive integer, the method provides a sequence of gates that are defined iteratively from a fixed diagonal gate and an arbitrary gate. These sequences are conjectured to
We derive a trade-off relation between the accuracy of implementing a desired unitary evolution using a restricted set of free unitaries and the size of the assisting system, in terms of the resource generating/losing capacity of the target unitary.
Random unitary matrices find a number of applications in quantum information science, and are central to the recently defined boson sampling algorithm for photons in linear optics. We describe an operationally simple method to directly implement Haar
