We show an implementation of the Deutsch Algorithm using classical optical elements and a coherent laser source. The encoded qubits are present in form of polarisation and orbital angular momentum. Our approach, based on a Sagnac interferometer, offers excellent stability and demonstrates that optical quantum computation is achievable using classical states of light.
