Abstract:We present an experimental realization of a two-photon conditional phase switch, related to the " c-phis;" gate of quantum computation. This gate relies on quantum interference between photon pairs and generates entanglement between two optical modes through the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC). The interference effect serves to enhance the effective nonlinearity by many orders of magnitude, so it is significant at the quantum (single-photon) level. By adjusting the relative optical phase between the classical pump for SPDC and the pair of input modes, one can impress a large phase shift on one beam which depends on the presence or absence of a single photon in a control mode.
