Deterministic photon-photon {radical}(SWAP)gate using a {Lambda} system
We theoretically present a method to realize a deterministic photon-photon {radical}(SWAP) gate using a three-level {Lambda} system interacting with single photons in reflection geometry. The {Lambda} system is used completely passively as a temporary memory for a photonic qubit; the initial state of the {Lambda} system may be arbitrary, and active control by auxiliary fields is unnecessary throughout the gate operations. These distinct merits make this entangling gate suitable for deterministic and scalable quantum computation.
