Abstract: Presents a study on quantum computation. Impact of quantum computers on the efficiency of solving problems, including factoring large integers; Proposals for quantum computation, which were based on implementing a quantum bit with two optical modes containing one photon; Method of computation that uses beam splitters, phase shifters, single photon sources, and photon detectors.
