Abstract

We present the quantum theory of a polarization phase-gate that can be realized in a sample of ultracold rubidium atoms driven into a tripod configuration. The main advantages of this scheme are in its relative simplicity and inherent symmetry. It is shown that the conditional phase shifts of order π can be attained.
