Displaced rotations of coherent states
  We propose an approach that enables to use it for construction of rotations of coherent states, in particular, it gives a possibility to construct Hadamard gate for the coherent states. Our approach is based on representation of arbitrary one-mode pure state in free-travelling fields, in particular superposition of coherent states (SCSs), in terms of displaced number states with arbitrary amplitude of displacement. Studied optical scheme is based on alternation of photon additions and displacement operators (in general case, photon additions and displacements are required) with seed coherent state to generate both even and odd displaced squeezed SCSs (DSSCSs) regardless of number of used photon additions. It is shown the studied optical scheme is sensitive to seed coherent state provided that other parameters are invariable. Output states approximate with high fidelity either even squeezed SCS or odd SCS shifted relative each other by some value. It enables to construct local rotation operator for coherent states, in particular, Hadamard gate being mainframe element for quantum computation with coherent states. The effects deteriorating quality of output states are considered.
