Abstract

Simple examples that illustrate the principles of one-way quantum computation using Gaussian continuous-variable cluster states are given. In these examples, only single-mode evolutions, realizable via linear clusters, are considered. In particular, one can focus on Gaussian single-mode transformations performed through the cluster state. These examples highlight the differences between cluster-based schemes and protocols in which special quantum states are prepared off-line and then used as a resource for the on-line computation.
