· Physical Review. A
We describe a protocol capable of preparing an arbitrary state of two photons in several spatial modes using pairs of photons generated by spontaneous parametric down conversion, linear optical elements, and single-photon detectors or postselection. The protocol involves unitary and nonunitary transformations realizable by beam splitters and phase shifters. Nonunitary transformations are implemented by attenuation filters. The protocol contains several optimization capabilities with the goal of improving overall probability of its success. We also show how entangled two-photon states required for quantum computing with linear optics can be prepared using a very simple and feasible scheme.
