TITLE: The complexity of graph state preparation (joint work with Mehdi Mhalla and Simon Perdrix)
ABSTRACT: Graph states are entangled quantum states described by means of
mathematical
graphs. They are useful in some purification schemes and, most
importantly,
they adequately represent the entangled states consumed by
measurement-based
quantum computations. This talk will deal with the complexity of
preparing a
graph state, given the graph describing it. Three kinds of resources
may be
used during a graph state preparation: (i) some number of ancillary
qubits,
(ii) unitary operators and/or measurement observables of some maximal
size
(i.e. the maximum number of qubits operated upon by one operation), and
(iii),
some time (i.e. the number of successive steps needed to reach the
target
state). Each order of priority among these three parameters defines a
measure
of complexity. For each measure, upper and lower bounds of the
complexity of
graph state preparation will be defined, with a special focus on the
case of
graph state preparation my means of quantum measurements only (i.e.
without
applying any unitary operator).
