Abstract

We review recent research in various types of optical quantum computing using liquid crystal (LC) devices. First, we have investigated Young's Interference experiment using self-aligned LC devices and a logical 'NOT' operation is achieved. Second, numerical quantization of interfering small photons using a LC retarder is investigated. Third, a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with an optical phase control by a twisted nematic (TN) LC device was studied. Fourth, 4-bit optical path linear quantum computation using Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm with the LC device as a linear optical element was investigated.
