Efficient graph state generation and artificial error detection

How to generate photonic cluster state or graph state efficiently is the main problem in optical measurement-based quantum computation. Assisted by the cross phase modulation technique, we propose an efficient scheme to realize the cascade CZ operation, which could be used to generate universal cluster state, with the controlled-path gate as element operation. Especially, for the wheel cluster state, the generation processes are obviously simpler than the former approaches. Moreover, we consider the artificial error that one forgot to operate one or some single photons during the generation processes cross-type, star-type graph state. This error likely occurs in the large scale of graph state generation with one-by-one pattern and is firstly considered in this paper. With the present approach, it is possible to judge whether all the involved single photons are connected as desired or not, i.e., detect the artificial error with the success probability 1/2.
