On implementing nondestructive triplet Toffoli gate with entanglement swapping operations via the GHZ state analysis

Quantum Information Processing Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We investigate an novel implementation of a Toffoli gate using multiple independent auxiliary photons prepared beforehand in single-qubit states. This gate can be performed nondestructively with entanglement swapping via the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state analysis. We evaluate the performance of the proposed Toffoli gate with the fidelity based on different computation bases. The multi-qubit-entanglement gate is no longer theoretical since it can be implemented in principle with single-qubit photons.
