Quantum Computing with Continuous-Variable Clusters

Gu, Mile, Weedbrook, Christian, Menicucci, Nicolas C. et al.

Understand

Continuous-variable cluster states offer a potentially promising method of implementing a quantum computer.

  • This paper extends and further refines theoretical foundations and protocols for experimental implementation.
  • We give a cluster-state implementation of the cubic phase gate through photon detection, which, together with homodyne detection, facilitates universal quantum computation.
  • In addition, we characterize the offline squeezed resources required to generate an arbitrary graph state through passive linear optics.
