Gottesman and Chuang show how teleportation can perform quantum gates

Aug 2, 1999

Daniel Gottesman and Isaac Chuang propose performing quantum logic by teleporting qubits through specially prepared entangled states. Their method also supplies constructions for gates that can operate on error-protected quantum information.

Why it matters

Teleportation becomes a tool for computation as well as communication, opening another route to building fault-tolerant quantum gates.
