Quantum Logical Gates with Linear Quadripartite Cluster States of Continuous Variables

Abstract: The concrete schemes to realize three types of basic quantum logical gates using linear quadripartite cluster states of optical continuous variables are proposed. The influences of noises and finite squeezing on the computation precision are analyzed in terms of the fidelity of propagated quantum information through the continuous variable cluster states. The proposed schemes provide direct references for the design of experimental systems of one-way quantum computer based on the cluster entanglement of amplitude and phase quadratures of light.
