Integration of highly probabilistic sources into optical quantum architectures.
Simon J. Devitt, Ashley M. Stephens, William J. Munro, Kae Nemoto · 2011
We introduce a design for an optical computer constructed exclusively from a single quantum component. Unlike previous efforts we eliminate the need for on demand photon sources and detectors and replace them with the same device utilised to create photon/photon entanglement. This introduces highly probabilistic elements into the architecture while maintaining complete specificity of the structure and operation for a large-scale computer.
