Abstract

Knill, Laflamme, and Milburn (KLM) proved that it is possible to build a scalable universal quantum computer using only linear-optics elements and conditional dynamics [Nature (London) {\bf 409}, 46 (2001)\cite{Knill}]. However, the practical realization of the quantum logic gate for the scheme is still technically difficult. A major difficulty is the requirement for sub-wavelength level stabilization of the interlocking interferometers. Following our recent experimental work[Phys. Rev. Lett.{\bf 92}, 017902 (2004)\cite{Sanaka2}], we describe a more feasible scheme to implement the gate that greatly reduces the experimental stability requirements. The scheme uses only polarizing beam splitters and half-wave plates.
