IQP computations with intermediate measurements

Quantum Physics 2025-07-11 v3

Abstract

We consider the computational model of IQP circuits (in which all computational steps are XX basis diagonal gates), supplemented by intermediate XX or ZZ basis measurements. We show that if we allow non-adaptive or adaptive XX basis measurements, or allow non-adaptive ZZ basis measurements, then the computational power remains the same as that of the original IQP model; and with adaptive ZZ basis measurements the model becomes quantum universal. Furthermore we show that the computational model having circuits of only CZCZ gates and adaptive XX basis measurements, with input states that are tensor products of 1-qubit states from the set {+,1,12(0+i1),12(0+eiπ/41)}\{ |+\rangle, |1\rangle,\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|0\rangle+i|1\rangle), \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|0\rangle+e^{i\pi/4}|1\rangle) \} , is quantum universal. In contrast to the relation of IQP to PH collapse, all our results here are manifestly stable under small additive implementational errors.
