Quantum NOT and CNOT Gates Implementation Using Interferometric Electro-Optic Modulator

in this paper, an all optical method will be proposed for quantum NOT and CNOT gates implementation. These quantum gates will be realized by using interferometric electro-optic modulator. Normal modes in waveguides are used as quantum bits. This all optical technique can be used to perform any quantum computation. The proposed gates have potential of being more compact and easily realized compared to other optical implementations. This method is based on planar lightwave circuit technology and it is suitable for integrated optics
