Gapped Two-Body Hamiltonian Whose Unique Ground State Is Universal for One-Way Quantum Computation
Xie Chen, Bei Zeng, Zheng‐Cheng Gu, Beni Yoshida, Isaac L. Chuang · Physical Review Letters · 2009
Many-body entangled quantum states studied in condensed matter physics can be primary resources for quantum information, allowing any quantum computation to be realized using measurements alone, on the state. Such a universal state would be remarkably valuable, if only it were thermodynamically stable and experimentally accessible, by virtue of being the unique ground state of a physically reasonable Hamiltonian made of two-body, nearest-neighbor interactions. We introduce such a state, composed of six-state particles on a hexagonal lattice, and describe a general method for analyzing its properties based on its projected entangled pair state representation.
