Dov Fields will talk about Measurement Based Quantum Computing.
Abstract
In the standard model of quantum computation, quantum algorithms are processed by applying a series of quantum gates and measurements to a quantum system. However, there is another model of quantum computation that has generated a significant amount of interest and research – measurement based quantum computation (MBQC). In the MBQC paradigm, one starts with a highly entangled state and applies single qubit measurements. Through an appropriate application of single qubit measurements, one can reproduce any algorithm that one could have using the standard model. In this talk, the goal is to give a brief introduction to MBQC, covering the fundamentals of this paradigm. Specifically, I will focus on two of the more fundamental and original models of MBQC: teleportation based quantum computing and the ‘one way quantum computer’ (1WQC). Understanding the two models of MBQC will give a clear basis for understanding the fundamentals of how MBQC operates.
