### Measurement-based quantum computation with qubit and continuous-variable systems

Quantum computers offer impressive computational speed-ups over their present-day (classical) counterparts. In the measurement-based model, quantum computation is driven by single-site measurements

### Gaussian quantum information

• Physics, Computer Science

This review focuses on continuous-variable quantum information processes that rely on any combination of Gaussian states, Gaussian operations, and Gaussian measurements, including quantum communication, quantum cryptography, quantum computation, quantum teleportation, and quantum state and channel discrimination.

### Continuous-variable quantum computation of oracle decision problems

• Physics, Computer Science
