20.1 Introduction

Quantum computation is usually thought of as a sequence of quantum gates. This sequence of gates decomposes the desired total unitary operation of our computation. It is followed by a measurement that extracts the result of the computation. In Chapter 11, a different concept was introduced and a specific, highly entangled input state was prepared. The computation was performed by measuring out the individual systems in a specific pattern. Both approaches have one thing in common: in principle they work deterministically. ...
