PsiQuantum proposes computing through fusion measurements

Jan 22, 2021

Sara Bartolucci and colleagues propose fusion-based quantum computation, joining small entangled states through measurements. They analyze fault tolerance for this model, including photon loss and probabilistic operations in optical hardware.

Why it matters

The proposal builds error correction around operations available in photonics, providing an architecture for scaling light-based quantum computers.
