Minimal resources for Measurement-based Quantum Computing.

Simon Perdrix


Projective measurements are universal for Quantum Computation. Since projective measurements are destructive, some ancillary qubits are required to simulate a reversible transformation like a unitary transformation. How many projective measurements and how many ancillas are required to simulate any unitary transformation? Successive improvements have been done to minimize the resources of Measurement-based QC [1,2,3]. We improve the existing results by proving that a set composed of 3 projective measurements, including 1 two-qubit measurement and 2 one-qubit measurements, requires only one ancilla to be universal. Moreover we exhibit non trivial lower bounds for this kind of universal resources.
