Quantum Teleportation is a Universal Computational Primitive

2 Aug 1999 · Daniel Gottesman, Isaac L. Chuang ·

We present a method to create a variety of interesting gates by teleporting quantum bits through special entangled states. This allows, for instance, the construction of a quantum computer based on just single qubit operations, Bell measurements, and GHZ states. We also present straightforward constructions of a wide variety of fault-tolerant quantum gates.
