Quantum computation by quantum-like systems

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

Using a quantumlike description for light propagation in nonhomogeneous optical fibers, quantum information processing can be implemented by optical means. Quantum-like bits (qulbits) are associated to light modes in the optical fiber and quantum gates to segments of the fiber providing an unitary transformation of the mode structure along a space direction. Simulation of nonlinear quantum effects is also discussed.
