Abstract. We demonstrate experimentally that acousto-optic diffraction by a shear acoustic wave propagating in fused silica can transform linear or circular polarization states into their orthogonal counterparts. It is also shown that a corresponding acousto-optic cell with a shear acoustic wave propagating in a vitreous medium can be used as a NOT or CNOT gate. The advantage of our method is a possibility for spatial manipulation by qubits via acousto-optic diffraction under condition of changing frequency of the acoustic wave.

Keywords: quantum gates, NOT gates, CNOT gates, acousto-optics, fused silica

Анотація. Експериментально продемонстровано, що акустооптична дифракція на зсувній акустичній хвилі, яка поширюється в плавленому кварці, може перетворити лінійні або кругові поляризаційні стани на їхні ортогональні аналоги. Також показано, що відповідну акустооптичну комірку з зсувною акустичною хвилею, яка поширюється у склоподібному середовищі, можна використовувати як квантові вентилі NOT або CNOT. Перевагою нашого методу є можливість просторового керування кубітами за допомогою акустооптичної дифракції за умови зміни частоти акустичної хвилі.

Ключові слова: квантові вентилі, вентилі НЕ, вентилі CNOT, акустооптика, плавлений кварц
