For applications in which the output qubit is required to be in a different mode than the input, the polarizing Sagnac interferometer switch presented here could be generalized into, for example, an analogous polarizing Mach-Zehnder interferometer switch formed by two polarizing beam splitters with Pockels Cells in each arm.
