This is achieved passively using an adaptive strategy of measurement - no coherent measurements or coherent correction is required. Since the scheme relies on inferring information about what would have been the outcome of a measurement had one been able to carry it out, we call this "counterfactual" error correction. Comment: Published version - much revised and with a new title. Here we now focus solely on the general aspects of the protocol - a much expanded and improved discussion of its application in linear optical quantum computation can now be found in quant-ph/0702044. date: 2006-09 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.120501 vfaculties: VMPS rae2008: 19 oa_status: green language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.120501 lyricists_name: Browne, D lyricists_id: DEBRO32 full_text_status: public publication: Physical Review Letters volume: 97 number: 12 pagerange: 120501 refereed: TRUE issn: 0031-9007 citation: Varnava, M.; Browne, D.E.; Rudolph, T.; (2006) Loss tolerance in one-way quantum computation via counterfactual error correction.
