Description In the circuit model of Quantum Computation (QC), all qubits are initially prepared in a default state, are then manipulated by a sequences of unitary single-qubit and two-qubit gates, and are finally measured in the computational basis. By contrast, in measurement-based QC one first prepares an enormous many-qubit entangled state, and then carries out a sequence of single-qubit measurements, eventually followed, if necessary, by single-qubit rotations as the final step. Since some multi-qubit gates are more easily implemented in the circuit model, and others in measurement-based QC, we investigate the potential advantages of Hybrid QC, which combines the two approaches in an attempt to make the best use of the particular advantages that each offers.
