� Information has a physical character – what we can do with it depends on the
physical system which carries it.
� Quantum systems behave more strangely than classical ones (superpositions
of states, entanglement, “non-locality”, intrinsic randomness and non-linearity
of quantum measurements).
� Quantum effects offer the solution of some tasks which cannot be solved in
“classical” information theory or whose classical solution is unknown (secure
distribution of cryptographic key, factorization of large numbers in polynomial time and other “hard” computational problems).

� Photons are good carriers of quantum informationbut they do not interact with each other well.
� Quantum gates need controlled interaction between qubits.Interaction of qubits requires non-linearity.
� Quantum measurement is nonlinear (breaks superpositions)⇨ it can emulate nonlinearity in linear optical quantum gates (after the
measurement on an auxiliary system the state of the whole system collapses).
� But quantum measurement is also probabilistic (gives random results)⇨ linear optical quantum gates are probabilistic (sometimes fail).
� Fortunately, for many small-scale quantum computing tasks this is not a key problem. Especially for quantum information processing immediately after the quantum transmission the probability of success lower than one is not essential because the losses on the quantum channel are usually a few orders of magnitude higher.
� Linear-optical gates are experimentally feasible.
� They works directly with photons without the necessity to transfer the quantum state of a photonic qubit into another quantum system like an ion etc. (photons are useful for communication purposes).
