Linear optical quantum computing is beset by the lack of deterministic entangling operations besides photon loss. Motivated by advancements at the experimental front in deterministic generation of various kinds of multiphoton entangled states, we propose an architecture for linear-optical quantum computing that harnesses the availability of three-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states. Our architecture and its subvariants use polarized photons in GHZ states, polarization beam splitters,

Hybridizing different degrees of freedom or physical platforms potentially offers various advantages in building scalable quantum architectures. Here, we introduce a fault-tolerant hybrid quantum computation by building on the advantages of both discrete-variable (DV) and continuous-variable (CV) systems. In particular, we define a CV-DV hybrid qubit with a bosonic cat code and a single photon, which is implementable in current photonic platforms. Due to the cat code encoded in the CV part, the

Graph states are versatile resources for various quantum information processing tasks, including measurement-based quantum computing and quantum repeaters. Although the type-II fusion gate enables all-optical generation of graph states by combining small graph states, its non-deterministic nature hinders the efficient generation of large graph states. In this work, we present a graph-theoretical strategy to effectively optimize fusion-based generation of any given graph state, along with a Pytho

Two-dimensional color codes are a promising candidate for fault-tolerant quantum computing, as they have high encoding rates, transversal implementation of logical Clifford gates, and resource-efficient magic state preparation schemes. However, decoding color codes presents a significant challenge due to their structure, where elementary errors violate three checks instead of just two (a key feature in surface code decoding), and the complexity of extracting syndrome is greater. We introduce an

Topological measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC) enables one to carry out universal fault-tolerant quantum computation via single-qubit measurements with a family of large entangled states called cluster states as resources. Raussendorf's three-dimensional cluster states (RTCSs) based on the surface codes are mainly considered for topological MBQC. In such schemes, however, the logical Hadamard, phase $({Z}^{1/2})$, and $T$ $({Z}^{1/4})$ gates which are essential for building up arbitrar

Abstract Measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC) in linear optical systems is promising for near-future quantum computing architecture. However, the nondeterministic nature of entangling operations and photon losses hinder the large-scale generation of graph states and introduce logical errors. In this work, we propose a linear optical topological MBQC protocol employing multiphoton qubits based on the parity encoding, which turns out to be highly photon-loss tolerant and resource-efficient e

Virtual distillation is an error-mitigation technique that reduces quantum-computation errors without assuming the noise type. In scenarios where the user of a quantum circuit is required to additionally employ peripherals, such as delay lines, that introduce excess noise, we find that the error-mitigation performance can be improved if the peripheral, whenever possible, is split across the entire circuit, that is, when the noise channel is uniformly distributed in layers within the circuit. We

It was shown that using multiphoton qubits, a nearly deterministic Bell-state measurement can be performed with linear optics and on-off photodetectors [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 113603 (2015)]. However, multiphoton qubits are generally more fragile than single-photon qubits under a lossy environment. In this paper, we propose and analyze a scheme to teleport multiphoton-qubit information using hybrid entanglement with a loss-tolerant carrier qubit. We consider three candidates for the carrier qubit

Abstract The purpose of the study was to analyze the persistence of HCH in atmosphere, soil, sediment and waterof the western and southern regions of Korea. The samples from the western region were collected from Anmyeon Island, and the samples from the southern region were collected from Kimhae and Busan. The concentration of HCH isomers in atmosphere showed the pattern of α-HCH>γ-HCH>s-HCH. The regions with high HCH concentration in the atmosphere are the regions that have been highly exposed

The coherent-state qubit is a promising candidate for optical quantum information processing due to its nearly deterministic nature of the Bell-state measurement (BSM). However, its nonorthogonality incurs difficulties such as the failure of the BSM. One may use a large amplitude $(\ensuremath{\alpha})$ for the coherent state to minimize the failure probability, but the qubit then becomes more vulnerable to dephasing by photon loss. We propose a hardware-efficient concatenated BSM (CBSM) scheme

Fault-tolerant implementation of non-Clifford gates is a major challenge for achieving universal fault-tolerant quantum computing with quantum error-correcting codes. Magic state distillation is the most well-studied method for this but requires significant resources. Hence, it is crucial to tailor and optimize magic state distillation for specific codes from both logical- and physical-level perspectives. In this work, we perform such optimization for two-dimensional color codes, which are promi

One of the most significant obstacles for implementing quantum computing is noise, corrupting quantum information stored in qubits. Quantum error-correcting codes can be utilized to overcome this by distributing quantum information into multiple qubits. The color code is one of the representative error-correcting codes, which allows relatively straightforward implementations of logical gates. In this article, I describe how to perform fault-tolerant quantum computing using the color code, includ

Fault-tolerant photonic quantum computing schemes have suffered low photon-loss thresholds and heavy resource requirements particularly when using single-photon qubits. Recently, several approaches utilizing both discrete and continuous variables of light have been proposed to reach high photon-loss thresholds with relatively low resource requirements. Here we present two schemes that outperform known previous schemes in terms of photon-loss thresholds and resource overheads. The first one is a
