Coherent State Topological Cluster State Production

We present results illustrating the construction of 3D topological cluster states with coherent state logic. Such a construction would be ideally suited to wave-guide implementations of quantum optical processing. We investigate the use of a ballistic CSign gate, showing that given large enough initial cat states, it is possible to build large 3D cluster states. We model X and Z basis measurements by displaced photon number detections and x-quadrature homodyne detections, respectively. We investigate whether teleportation can aid cluster state construction and whether the introduction of located loss errors fits within the topological cluster state framework.
