Arbitrary d-dimensional Pauli X-Gates of a flying Qudit (1811.01814v1)

Published 5 Nov 2018 in quant-ph and physics.optics

Abstract: High-dimensional degrees of freedom of photons can encode more quantum information than their two-dimensional counterparts. While the increased information capacity has advantages in quantum applications (such as quantum communication), controlling and manipulating these systems has been challenging. Here we show a method to perform lossless arbitrary high-dimensional Pauli-X gates for single photon. The X-gate consists of a cyclic permutation of qudit basis vectors, and, together with the Z gate, forms the basis for performing arbitrary transformations. We propose an implementation of such gates on the orbital angular momentum of photons. The proposed experimental setups only use two basic optical elements such as mode-sorters and mode-shifters -- thus could be implemented in any system where these experimental tools are available. Furthermore the number of involved interferometers scales logarithmically with the dimension, which is important for practical implementation.
