Perfect Cluster States from Imperfect Global Entanglement

Quantum Physics 2008-03-10 v3 Other Condensed Matter

Abstract

The cluster state, the highly entangled state that is the central resource for one-way quantum computing, can be efficiently generated in a variety of physical implementations via global nearest-neighbor interactions. In practice, a systematic phase error is expected in the entangling process, resulting in imperfect cluster states. We present a stochastic measurement technique to generate large perfect cluster states and other graph states with high probability from imperfect cluster states even when their initial entanglement is weak.
