Title:  Fault-tolerant quantum computation in the graph-state model

Abstract: 

  We first present a simple proof of universality in the graph state
  model based on the notion of composable simulation.  Then, we give a
  simple proof for the existence of an accuracy threshold for
  graph-state computation invoking the threshold theorem derived for
  quantum circuit computation, and obtain lower bounds on the
  threshold for the graph-state model in terms of known bounds in the
  circuit model under the same noise process.

  Joint work with A. Aliferis
