Information Flow in Qubit Lattices — •Daniel E Browne, Robert Raussendorf, and Hans J Briegel — Theoretische Physik, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Theresienstr. 37, D-80333 München.

Cluster states are highly entangled multi-particle states which occur naturally in a qubit lattice with an Ising-type interaction. Measurements of particles in the cluster exhibit certain quantum mechanical and classical correlations. These allow the processing of quantum information on the cluster through measurement alone, making a “one-way” quantum computer [1]. More generally, due to these correlations the process of measuring is accompanied by a flow of information. We construct a “classical” counterpart to the cluster state exhibiting the classical part of the correlations. In doing so we gain insight in the character of entanglement as a resource for performing quantum algorithms.
