Reducing the Resources in Measurement-only Quantum Computation
Yasuhiro Takahashi · NTT technical review · 2011
This article describes a recent result concerning the construction of a small set of projective measurements required for implementing universal quantum computation, that is, for implementing an arbitrary unitary operation.Projective measurements are used as the main resources for implementing an arbitrary unitary operation in the measurement-only quantum computation model in contrast to conventional models.Resource minimization is important not only for realizing a quantum computer based on the measurement-only quantum computation model, but also for understanding the computational power of projective measurements.
