High-efficiency quantum information processing is equivalent to the fewest quantum resources and the simplest operations by means of logic qubit gates. Based on the reflection geometry of a single photon interacting with a three-level Λ-typle atom-cavity system, we present some refined protocols for realizing controlled-not (CNOT), Fredkin, and Toffoli gates on hybrid systems. The first control qubit of our gates is encoded on a flying photon, and the rest qubits are encoded on the atoms in optical cavity. Moreover, these quantum gates can be extended to the optimal synthesis of multi-qubit CNOT, Fredkin and Toffoli gates with O(n) optical elements without auxiliary photons or atoms. Further, the simplest single-qubit operations are applied to the photon only, which make these logic gates experimentally feasible with current technology.
