Cluster-state quantum computing is an extremely interesting approach to quantum computing. Instead of doing lots of coherent “quantum gates”, as in the usual approach to quantum computing, cluster-state quantum computing provides a way of doing quantum computing with measurements alone. This is surprising from a fundamental point of view, and also turns out to be surprisingly practical – in many physical systems, but especially in optics, it seems like cluster-state quantum computation might be a lot easier to do than regular quantum computing.<\/p>\n
Anyways, here’s a collection of basic papers on cluster-state quantum computing<\/a>, which pretty much mirrors the papers I used to give my students as a way of learning the basics. It’s in no way meant to be complete, or slight anyone, or whatever – it’s just a starter pack describing a lot of the basic ideas.<\/p>\n (As will be obvious if you click on the link, I’m sharing this collection of papers using a website I’ve been developing, the Academic Reader<\/a>. Suggestions for how to improve the sharing of collections of papers are welcome.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cluster-state quantum computing is an extremely interesting approach to quantum computing.
