This is achieved passively using an adaptive strategy of measurement - no coherent measurements or coherent correction is required. Since the scheme relies on inferring information about what would have been the outcome of a measurement had one been able to carry it out, we call this \"counterfactual\" error correction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2007-02-06T01:47:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "one-way quantum computation", "counterfactual error correction", "loss tolerance", "cluster state computation", "scheme relies" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
