State transfer with separable optical beams and variational quantum algorithms with classical light

Abstract

Classical electromagnetic fields and quantum mechanics obey the principle of superposition alike. This opens up many avenues for simulation of a large variety of phenomena and algorithms, which have hitherto been considered quantum mechanical. In this paper, we propose two such applications. In the first, we introduce a new, to the best of our knowledge, class of beams, called “equivalent optical beams,” in parallel with equivalent states introduced in Phys. Rev. A 89, 062110 (2014) [CrossRef]  . These beams have the same information content for all practical purposes. Employing them, we show how to transfer information from one degree of freedom of classical light to another, without need for classically entangled beams. Next, we show that quantum machine learning can be performed with OAM beams through the implementation of a quantum classifier circuit. We provide explicit protocols and explore the possibility of their experimental realization.
