• Abstract: Photonic quantum gates are fundamental building blocks for a wide range of optical quantum information processing tasks. We propose an efficient linear-optical scheme for implementing a post-selected three-qubit fan-out gate (also known as a controlled-NOT-NOT gate) using only two ancillary single photons and linear optical elements. The scheme can be generalized to an $n$-qubit fan-out gate, requiring $(n-1)$ ancillary single photons and $(3n-3)$ polarizing beam splitters (PBSs), with a success probability of $\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}$. Compared to the standard gate decomposition approach, which requires $(2n-2)$ ancillary single photons, $(5n-5)$ PBSs, and yields a success probability of $\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^{n-1}$. Our scheme significantly reduces the resource overhead and improves the success probability. We further evaluate the gate performance and demonstrate improved robustness compared to gate decomposition-based methods.

• The quantum beam splitter with many partially indistinguishable photons: multiphotonic interference and asymptotic classical correspondence [44.99833362998488]
  We present the analysis of the quantum two-port interferometer in the $n rightarrow infty$ limit of $n$ partially indistinguishable photons. Our main result is that the output distribution is dominated by the $O(sqrtn)$ channels around a certain $j*$ that depends on the degree of indistinguishability. The form is essentially the doubly-humped semi-classical envelope of the distribution that would arise from $2 j*$ indistinguishable photons, and which reproduces the corresponding classical intensity distribution.
