this, but must still be universal. To prove universality, it is sufficient to show how<br />

the actual set can be used to implement the gates mentioned above.<br />

Even though being able to directly implement operations involving more than<br />

two qubits might lead to a performance increase, they are not required since it<br />

has been shown that any n-qubit operation can be implemented with the above<br />

mentioned universal set, even though it only includes the two-qubit cNOT gate.<br />

1.3.5 High Quantum Efficiency, Qubit-Specific Measurements<br />

To extract the result <strong>of</strong> the computation in a way that is compatible with the<br />

universality requirement, it is necessary to be able to measure the state <strong>of</strong> each<br />

qubit independently. This measurement needs to be sufficiently accurate, since it<br />

is a common part <strong>of</strong> error correcting schemes that are needed to overcome short<br />

qubit coherence times.<br />
