Symmetry-protected topological phases with uniform computational power in one dimension
Abstract
We investigate the usefulness of ground states of quantum spin chains with symmetry-protected topological order (SPTO) for measurement-based quantum computation. We show that, in spatial dimension 1, if an SPTO phase protects the identity gate, then, subject to an additional symmetry condition that is satisfied in all cases so far investigated, it can also be used for quantum computation.
