Linear Optics Approach to Quantum Computing

Abstract

This is the final report for a three-year grant to investigate a linear optics approach to quantum computing. The main results of the study include a demonstration of a CNOT logic gate, a source of single photons on demand, a quantum memory device for photonic qubits, a small-scale circuit for photonic qubits, and a quantum error correction. The elimination of failure events using the quantum Zeno effect was proposed and is being investigated in a follow-on grant.
