How Good Must Single Photon Sources and Detectors Be for Efficient Linear Optical Quantum Computation?
Open accessAbstract
We present a scheme for linear optical quantum computation that is highly robust to imperfect single photon sources and inefficient detectors. In particular we show that if the product of the detector efficiency with the source efficiency is greater than 2/3, then efficient linear optical quantum computation is possible. This high threshold is achieved within the cluster state paradigm for quantum computation.

In the citing paper
“For photon loss alone, Ralph et al. (2005) and Varnava et al. (2006) and(2008) have designed loss-tolerant quantum computer schemes within the circuit-model and one-way model; the latter scheme can tolerate an overall optical loss, including source inefficiency and collection loss, up to an impressive 33%.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
