Description

Cluster state quantum computation is an alternative, though equivalent in terms of power, model to the standard gate model of quantum computation. Its advantage is that entanglement is invested at the very beginning of the computation and all subsequent steps are done by using one qubit measurements only. This project investigates the performance of such computers under noise and within various different scenarios.
