Noise in One-Dimensional Measurement-Based Quantum Computing

Understand

Measurement-Based Quantum Computing (MBQC) is an alternative to the quantum circuit model, whereby the computation proceeds via measurements on an entangled resource state.

• Noise processes are a major experimental challenge to the construction of a quantum computer.
• Here, we investigate how noise processes affecting physical states affect the performed computation by considering MBQC on a one-dimensional cluster state.
• This allows us to break down the computation in a sequence of building blocks and map physical errors to logical errors.
