Abstract
AbstractUniversal quantum gates lie at the heart of designing quantum computer. Here two compact quantum circuits for implementing post‐selected controlled‐phase‐flip (CPF) gate and Toffoli gate with linear optics are constructed assisted by one and two single photons, respectively. The current existing maximum success probability of 1/4 for linear optical CPF gate is achieved by resorting to an ancillary single photon rather than an entangled photon pair or two single photons. Remarkably, the presented Toffoli gate is accomplished with current maximum success probability of 1/30 and unity fidelity in principle, without using additional entangled photon pairs and the standard decomposition‐based approach. Linear optical implementations of the presented two universal gates are feasible and economical under current technology, and provide a potential application in large‐scale optical quantum computing.
