43 Conclusions The use of transverse modes increases the computacional power of the light. We can use classical Spin-Orbit modes to study some particularities of the quantum systems. It constitutes an important tool for the Quantum Computing and the Quantum Information. Applied devices for Quantum Computation with Spin-Orbit modes - CNOT gates, Q-Phase gates and the BB84 setup - can be built and tested.
