Abstract
High-fidelity planar quantum circuits have been recently experimentally
demonstrated , enabling a new generation of quantum computing, based on
reliable, monolithically integrated planar optical devices. The present
paper is a contribution to the development of this new concept, giving a
general and at most comprehensive overview of quantum algorithms that can be
implemented using planar optics devices. Starting from the four postulates
of quantum mechanics, the complete set of quantum-gate operations is
described using only planar 1-qubit rotations and CNOT gates, both in
universal and non-deterministic forms. Both single-photon and
coherent-states quantum computing are considered, and the effects of photon
losses and phase noise are
investigated.
