We design optimal interferometric schemes for implementation of two-qubit linear optical quantum filters diagonal in the computational basis. The filtering is realized by interference of the two photons encoding the qubits in a multiport linear optical interferometer, followed by conditioning on presence of a single photon in each output port of the filter. The filter thus operates in the coincidence basis, similarly to many linear optical unitary quantum gates. Implementation of the filter with linear optics may require an additional overhead in terms of reduced overall success probability of the filtering and the optimal filters are those that maximize the overall success probability. We discuss in detail the case of symmetric real filters and extend our analysis also to asymmetric and complex filters.
We report on the first experimental realization of optimal linear-optical controlled phase gates for arbitrary phases. The realized scheme is entirely flexible in that the phase shift can be tuned to any given value. All such controlled phase gates a
We present an efficient method to solve the quantum discord of two-qubit X states exactly. A geometric picture is used to clarify whether and when the general POVM measurement is superior to von Neumann measurement. We show that either the von Neuman
By popular request we post these old (from 2001) lecture notes of the Varenna Summer School Proceedings. The original was published as J. I. Cirac, L. M. Duan, and P. Zoller, in Experimental Quantum Computation and Information Proceedings of the Inte
Here we propose an experiment in Linear Optical Quantum Computing (LOQC) using the framework first developed by Knill, Laflamme, and Milburn. This experiment will test the ideas of the authors previous work on imperfect LOQC gates using number-resolv
Heisenbergs uncertainty relations for measurement quantify how well we can jointly measure two complementary observables and have attracted much experimental and theoretical attention recently. Here we provide an exact tradeoff between the worst-case
