Abstract
We establish a framework which allows one to construct novel schemes for measurement-based quantum computation. The technique further develops tools from many-body physics - based on finitely correlated or projected entangled pair states - to go beyond the cluster-state based one-way computer. We identify resource states that are radically different from the cluster state, in that they exhibit non-vanishing correlation functions, can partly be prepared using gates with non-maximal entangling power, or have very different local entanglement properties. In the computational models, the randomness is compensated in a different manner. It is shown that there exist resource states which are locally arbitrarily close to a pure state. Finally, we comment on the possibility of tailoring computational models to specific physical systems as, e.g. cold atoms in optical lattices.
