Time-Domain Multiplexed Two-Dimensional Cluster State for Large-Scale Universal Multi-Input One-Way Quantum Computation

One-way quantum computation is a promising scheme for realizing large-scale quantum computation, where computation is done via measurements on a universal multi-mode entangled resource called cluster state. The capability of this method is determined by the size and the dimension of the cluster state; the size is roughly equivalent to the number of input modes times number of operation steps, while the dimension determines universality and fault tolerance of the computation. To achieve universality, two-dimensional cluster state is required. Among many approaches, time-domain multiplexing using optical system [1, 2] is a promising method where quantum state is encoded in a temporal wave packet. Although universality is still lacking, one-million-mode one-dimensional cluster state has been demonstrated with this approach [3].
