Abstract
Optical quantum logic gates are the basic elements for building optical quantum computer. Usually, to implement different logic gates, different optical elements and frameworks are needed. Here, we propose a versatile device that a modified Sagnac interferometer composed of a spatial light modulator (SLM) for implementing multiple optical gates within a classical light framework. We demonstrate that the device can manipulate the polarization and full-field spatial modes of photons to perform multi-qubit logic operations. And versatile conversions between different logic gates are achieved by simply altering the hologram imposed on SLM. Our device shows a good performance in exploring the photon’s full degrees of freedom, which makes it an appropriate candidate for integrated optical computing.
