Raussendorf and Briegel propose computing through quantum measurements

Oct 7, 2000

Robert Raussendorf and Hans Briegel propose a quantum computer that starts with a large entangled state. A sequence of measurements on individual qubits then carries out the computation, instead of a sequence of quantum logic gates.

Why it matters

The proposal establishes a different way to organize a quantum computer, later demonstrated with entangled photons.
