Quantum Computation with Gaussian Continuous-Variable Cluster States — •Peter van Loock — Optical Quantum Information Theory Group, Max Planck Research Group, Institute of Optics, Information and Photonics, Staudtstr. 7/B2, 91058 Erlangen, Germany

We describe an extension of the cluster-state model for universal quantum computation from qubits to quantized harmonic oscillators, i.e., a translation from discrete to continuous quantum variables [1]. Compared to the discrete case, many features of the continuous-variable model have their direct analogues: cluster-state preparation via Gaussian (Clifford) operations, realization of any Gaussian transformation via Gaussian measurements in arbitrary order (Clifford computation and parallelism), and universal quantum computation via at least one non-Gaussian (non-Clifford) measurement including feedforward. For the optical creation of approximate cluster states in form of multi-mode squeezed Gaussian states [2] and the optical implementation of small-scale cluster computations [3], we discuss various protocols including linear-optics generation schemes and protocols for finite-squeezing-induced error filtration.
