Linear optics quantum logic gates are the best tool to generate multiphoton entanglement. Simplifying a recent approach Phys. Rev. A 65, 062324 (2002); 66, 024308 (2002); Nature (London) 426, 264 (2003); Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 080502 (2004), we were able to implement the conditional phase gate with only one second-order interference at a polarization dependent beam splitter, thereby significantly increasing its stability. The improved quality of the gate is evaluated by analyzing its entangling capability and by performing full process tomography. The achieved results ensure that this device is well suited for implementation in various multiphoton quantum information protocols.
