We apply these methods to rederive the universality of 4-qubit measurements based on a scheme much simpler than Nielsen's original construction [quant-ph/0108020]. Then, we prove the universality of simple discrete sets of 2-qubit measurements, again using a scheme simplifying the initial construction [quant-ph/0111122]. Finally, we show how to use a single 4-qubit measurement to achieve universal quantum computation, and outline a proof for the universality of almost all maximally entangling 4-qubit measurements.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-02-27T02:36:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "measurement", "achieve universal quantum computation", "universality", "nielsens original construction", "simple discrete sets" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003quant.ph.10189L" } } }
