Recently, wide attention has been drawn to the implementation of quantum algorithms by solely using linear optics. Previous experimental demonstrations along this line focused on coherent photon states from attenuated laser pulses [1] or spontaneous parametric down-conversion [2] in order to simulate simple quantum algorithms or to demonstrate concepts of noise resistant quantum computation [3]. We realize the on-demand operation of the two-qubit Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm using a triggered single-photon source. Our experimental setup resembles a classical Mach-Zehnder interferometer that is combined with a single-photon source realized by an exciton transition in a single quantum dot [4]. A variation of our experimental setup enables us to implement ideas of the concept of decoherence-free subspaces [5] in a triggered quantum algorithm on the single-photon level.
