Grover's search algorithm: An optical approach

Abstract The essential operations of a quantum computer can be accomplished using solely optical elements, with different polarization or spatial modes representing the individual qubits. We present a simple all-optical implementation of Grover's algorithm for efficient searching, in which a database of four elements is searched with a single query. By ‘compiling’ the actual set-up, we have reduced the required number of optical elements from 24 to only 12. We discuss the extension to large databases, and the limitations of these techniques.
