High threshold distributed quantum computing with three-qubit nodes
A theory paper suggesting a way to make progress in demonstrating a practical distributed quantum computer. This architecture is designed overcome the scalability problem and so permit quantum computing to mature into a marketable technology. The approach requires building up a full scale machine from many small devices, and a key question has been how complex must those small devices be? This paper shows that structures with surprisingly low complexity (three qubits) can suffice as building blocks -- importantly, well-controlled structures of sufficient complexity already exist in experimental laboratories in Delft, Michigan, Stuttgart etc to test the theory.
