Topological one-way quantum computation on verified logical cluster states

We present a scheme to improve the noise threshold for fault-tolerant topological one-way computation with constant overhead. Certain cluster states of finite size, say star clusters, are constructed with logical qubits through an efficient verification process to achieve high fidelity. Then, the star clusters are connected near-deterministically with verification to form a three-dimensional cluster state to implement topological one-way computation. The necessary postselection for verification is localized within the star clusters, ensuring the scalability of computation. By using the Steane seven-qubit code for the logical qubits, this scheme works with a high error rate of 2% and reasonable resources comparable to or less than those for the other fault-tolerant schemes. A higher noise threshold would be achieved by adopting a larger code.
