Digram of Classification of special resource states with fractional symmetry

Symmetric Phases of Universal Quantum Computation
June 6, 2018
Jacob Miller and Akimasa Miyake have recently published a paper in Physical Review Letters giving strong evidence that certain forms of symmetric topological quantum matter can be utilized ubiquitously to power quantum computation. Their work is carried out within measurement-based quantum computation, where computation is extracted from a fixed quantum “resource state” using local measurements. In this setting, the power of computation attributes the physical properties of the resource state, but the properties which guarantee a state can carry out universal quantum computation are still unknown.
