The One way model for Quantum Computation with optical implementations tolerant to photon losses.
Michael Varnava
A one-way quantum computation proceeds by performing single-qubit
measurements on "cluster states" - a particular class of entangled
states created by implementing pairwise entangling Controlled-phase
shift operations. The measurements form the program to be executed
while destroying, at the same time, the entanglement of the cluster.
The greatest
source of error in optical implementations of the
model is due to photon losses. A particular type of cluster state,
will be used to demonstrate that optical implementations tolerant to
photon losses are possible with only single qubit measurements
involved.
