Quantum Computation by Local Measurement

TLDR
An introduction to the one-way quantum computer, a scheme of measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC), in this model, the computation is driven by local measurements on a carefully chosen, highly entangled state.
Abstract
Quantum computation is a novel way of information processing that allows, for certain classes of problems, exponential speedups over classical computation. Various models of quantum computation exist, such as the adiabatic, circuit, and measurement-based models. They have been proven equivalent in their computational power, but operate very differently. As such, they may be suitable for realization in different physical systems, and also offer different perspectives on open questions such as the precise origin of the quantum speedup. Here, we give an introduction to the one-way quantum computer, a scheme of measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC). In this model, the computation is driven by local measurements on a carefully chosen, highly entangled state. We discuss various aspects of this computational scheme, such as the role of entanglement and quantum correlations. We also give examples for ground states of simple Hamiltonians that enable universal quantum computation by local measurements.

Guifre Vidal
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical characterization of these monotone magnitudes is presented, which are then related to optimal strategies of conversion of shared states, and more detailed results are presented for pure states of bipartite systems.

Universal quantum computation using fractal symmetry-protected cluster phases

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that two-dimensional fractal subsystem symmetry-protected topological phases may serve as resources for universal measurement-based quantum computation, and they discuss the importance of rigid subsystem symmetries, as opposed to global or global or $(D\ensuremath{-}1)$-form symmetry, in this context.

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?

TL;DR: Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that one is led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.

On the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that even without such a separability or locality requirement, no hidden variable interpretation of quantum mechanics is possible and that such an interpretation has a grossly nonlocal structure, which is characteristic of any such theory which reproduces exactly the quantum mechanical predictions.

Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Prime Factorization and Discrete Logarithms on a Quantum Computer

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered factoring integers and finding discrete logarithms on a quantum computer and gave an efficient randomized algorithm for these two problems, which takes a number of steps polynomial in the input size of the integer to be factored.
