| Abstract: | In this lecture, the model of measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC) will be introduced. It is a universal scheme of quantum computation, driven by local measurements on suitably entangled initial quantum states. Because the entanglement present in these states is “used up” as the quantum computation proceeds, these states are called resource states for MBQC. Examples for universal resource states are 2D cluster states and AKLT states. The central goal of this lecture is to present the universality proof of MBQC. Further, since universal resource states are known to exist, their classification is desirable but to date not achieved. I’ll briefly review what is known about that question |
