研究目的
To provide an optical setup for implementing a quantum bit string comparator (QBSC) for polarization-based qubits using the non-linear Kerr effect, enabling conditional statements in quantum algorithms.
研究成果
The optical setup successfully implements a QBSC using Kerr nonlinearity, enabling quantum algorithms with conditional statements. However, practical implementation is constrained by the need for high nonlinearity materials and exponential power requirements for scalability, making it suitable only for small-scale applications.
研究不足
The implementation requires high Kerr nonlinearity, which is weak in common optical fibers; giant Kerr nonlinearity via electromagnetically induced transparency is suggested but may be challenging. The optical power (|α|^2) required increases exponentially with the number of qubits, limiting scalability to a small number of qubits. The CNOT gate implementation is probabilistic with low success probability (1/4 per gate), reducing overall efficiency.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The design is based on quantum nondemolition (QND) measurement using the Kerr effect, where a coherent state picks up a phase shift due to copropagation with a single-photon in a medium with cross-Kerr nonlinearity. The setup includes polarizing beam splitters (PBS), beam splitters (BS), polarization rotators, and single-photon detectors.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The system uses polarization-based qubits (horizontal and vertical components) and coherent states as probes. No specific samples or datasets are mentioned; it is a theoretical optical setup.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Polarizing beam splitters (PBS), beam splitters (BS), polarization rotators (e.g., R(π/2), R(π/4)), single-photon detectors (D1, D2, D3, D4), sources for single-photons and coherent states, and a medium with Kerr nonlinearity (e.g., optical fibers or materials with giant Kerr nonlinearity via electromagnetically induced transparency).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Single-photons and coherent states are input into the optical circuit. The PBSs separate horizontal and vertical polarization components. The vertical components interact with the coherent state via Kerr nonlinearity, inducing phase shifts. The coherent states interfere at a beam splitter, and the output is measured using a polarimeter setup with polarization rotators, PBSs, and detectors to determine the Stokes parameter S
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The mean value and variance of S2 are calculated to compare binary words. The error rate is analyzed using the Bhattacharyya distance between Skellam distributions of S2 for different Δθ values.
