Questions tagged [graph-states]

Graph-states are a class of quantum state that can be efficiently and uniquely represented by graphs. In the case of qubit graph states, each edge corresponds to a CZ operation applied between two qubits in the +1 X eigenstate. Graph states have a number of useful properties that make them useful objects for the analysis of large quantum systems and play a prominent role in the analysis of quantum computation and communication architectures and protocols.

Do we have a sample of interest for Graph State Generation?

I'd like to do some tests on Graph State Generation algorithms. Rather than generating random $CZ$ operator, it would be nice to have a sample online of given circuits.

Is this generalized 2D cluster state still a universal resource?

Let $G = (V,E)$ be a graph that defines the graph state $$ |G\rangle = \prod_{(i,j)\in E} CZ_{i,j}|+\rangle^{\otimes |V|}. $$ Alternatively, we can write $$ | G \rangle = \sum_{x \in \{0,1\}^{|V|}} ...
