Abstract
An optical Toffoli gate is the essential logical element, which permits the implementation of a reversible optical processor. We propose a simple realization of such a gate in films of crystals doped with rare-earth ions. The proposed scheme is based on adiabatic population transfer in a Λ-system by means of counterintuitive and intuitive sequences of short laser pulses. We also discuss possibilities for experimental realization of the proposed gate.
