This study focuses on designing optimal interferometric schemes for the implementation of two-qubit linear-optical quantum filters diagonal in the computational basis. The filtering is achieved through the interference of two photons encoding the qubits and conditioning on the presence of a single photon in each output port. The optimal filters are those that maximize the overall success probability, which may require additional overhead in terms of reduced success probability.
We design optimal interferometric schemes for the implementation of two-qubit linear-optical quantum filters diagonal in the computational basis. The filtering is realized by the interference of the two photons encoding the qubits in a multiport linear-optical interferometer, followed by conditioning on presence of a single photon in each output port of the filter. The filter thus operates in the coincidence basis, similarly to many linear-optical unitary quantum gates. The implementation of a filter with linear optics may require an additional overhead in terms of a reduced overall success probability of the filtering and the optimal filters are those that maximize the overall success probability. We discuss in detail the case of symmetric real filters and extend our analysis also to asymmetric and complex filters.
