Fault-tolerant computation with higher-dimensional systems
Daniel Gottesman · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas) · 1998
Instead of a quantum computer where the fundamental units are 2-dimensional qubits, the author can consider a quantum computer made up of d-dimensional systems. There is a straightforward generalization of the class of stabilizer codes to d-dimensional systems, and he will discuss the theory of fault-tolerant computation using such codes. He proves that universal fault-tolerant computation is possible with any higher-dimensional stabilizer code for prime d.
