Ulrik Lund Andersen, Technical University of Denmark delivers this fascinating talk on optical quantum computers.
Abstract:
Quantum computing can be realized with numerous different hardware platforms and using different computational protocols. One highly promising strategy to foster scalability is to use a photonic platform combined with a measurement-induced quantum processing protocol where the computational gates are realized through optical measurements on a multi-partite entangled state. In this talk I will discuss our progress towards the construction of a universal and fault-tolerant measurement-based optical quantum computer.
