Quantum photonic informatics: an overview of theoretical development and implementation via integrated photonics

Quantum photonic informatics involves manipulation and processing of information at a photon energy level. The qu-bit with optical modes containing one photon energy is described and photonic gates representing its quantum states are given and expanded into quantum systems and networks for computing and information processing. Integrated photonic devices are proposed for implementation of the quantum gates and networks and case studies are examined for further expansion and implementation of quantum algorithms.
