Clifford Manipulations of Stabilizer States – Application to Linear Optical Qubits

Abstract: The single-photon dual-rail qubit is popular for photonic quantum computing and communications, both due to gates being realizable with linear optics (LO) and photon detection, as well as easy interfaces with matter quantum memories. Two-qubit operations, i.e., two-qubit gates followed by the measurement of one (Type-I fusion) or both (Type-II fusion) qubits, are, however, […]
