transformation can be simulated with measurements, but this simulation needs
an additional auxiliary qubit [6]. Therefore one may wonder if the transforma-
tion which creates the initial cluster state can be simulated without additional
auxiliary qubits.

Lemma 1. For a given qubit a in an unknown state |φi and a given qubit b
in the state |+i, the sequence of measurements {Z(b),Z(a) ⊗X(b)} (see fig. 9)
simulates the unitary transformation C on |φi⊗|+i up to a two-qubit Pauli

operator.
Proof. If |φi = α|0i+β|1i and if the outcome of Z(b) is i ∈ {−1,1}, then the
state |ψ i of the register a,b after this measurement is:

Since C (|φi⊗|+i) = α|00i+α|01i+β|10i−β|11i, the 2-qubit unitary

transformation C is simulated on |φi⊗|+i up to a 2-qubit Pauli operator. (cid:3)

4.2 Creation of a one-dimensional Cluster State
In order to create the initial cluster state on a one-dimensional n-qubit lattice
composed of a unique input qubit, a cascade of C can be performed as follow:

For each C of the previous cascade the state of the second input qubit is
Z
|+i, thus, according to Lemma 1, the previous cascade of C is simulated by
Z
the following cascade of measurements. Note that this simulation requires no
additional auxiliary qubit.

5 Executions on a One-Way Quantum Computer
An execution on a one-way quantum computer is a sequence of one-qubit mea-
surements on a cluster state. For instance, for a given five-qubit cluster state, if
the first qubit is considered as an input qubit |φi and if the sequence of mea-
surements{X,Y,Y,Y}isperformedonthefirstfourqubits(seefig12),thenthe
state of the last qubit is σH|φi. Thus the one-way quantum computer of figure
12 simulates the Hadamard transformation.

of the cluster state and those implied in the execution can be decomposed into
a succession of generalized state transfers (see fig 13b).

This decomposition offers a natural translation from any one-dimensional
one-way quantum computer to quantum computation via projective measure-
ments only. Moreover a straightforwardinterpretation of the action of any one-
dimensional one-way quantum computer is obtained. For instance, the one-way
quantum computer of figure 12 can be decomposed (see fig 13c) into a step of
simulation of H (fig 4), and three steps of simulation of HS (fig 5), thus the
actionU ofthisone-wayquantumcomputerisU =(HS )(HS )(HS )(H)=H.

More generally, the measurements allowed in a one-way quantum compu-
tation are in the basis B(ϕ) = {|0 i+eiϕ |1 i,|0 i−eiϕ |1 i} for all ϕ. The observable

associatedwithB(ϕ)isO(ϕ)=cos(ϕ)X+sin(ϕ)Y.EachO(ϕ)-measurementis
associatedwith a generalizedstate transfer with V =R (−ϕ) and V =H (see

Thus the action U of the one-way quantum computer of figure 15 is U =
HR (−ζ)HR (−η)HR (−ξ)H.

The connexions between the one-way quantum computer and generalized
state transfer may also be used for designing new one-way quantum computers.
For instance the one-way quantum computers introduced in figure 16 simulate
respectivelyH andS whilerequiringlessqubitsthanthoseintroducedbyBriegel
and Raussendorf [7,8].

In this paper, we have introduced an exact quantum universal family of ob-
servables including only one two-qubit observable, while others are one-qubit
