We present the quantum theory of a polarization phase gate that can be realized in a sample of ultracold rubidium atoms driven into a tripod configuration. The main advantages of this scheme are its relative simplicity and inherent symmetry. It is shown that conditional phase shifts of order {pi} can be attained.
