Optimal photons for quantum information processing
Peter P. Rohde, Timothy C. Ralph, Michael A. Nielsen
Photonic quantum information processing schemes, such as linear optics quantum computing, and other experiments relying on single-photon interference, inherently require complete p…

The Solovay-Kitaev algorithm
Christopher M. Dawson, Michael A. Nielsen
This pedagogical review presents the proof of the Solovay-Kitaev theorem in the form of an efficient classical algorithm for compiling an arbitrary single-qubit gate into a sequenc…

A geometric approach to quantum circuit lower bounds
Michael A. Nielsen
What is the minimal size quantum circuit required to exactly implement a specified n-qubit unitary operation, U, without the use of ancilla qubits? We show that a lower bound on th…
