Symmetry protected topological order as a requirement for measurement-based quantum gate teleportation

Abstract

All known resource states for measurement-based quantum teleportation in correlation space possess symmetry protected topological order, but is this a sufficient or even necessary condition? This work considers two families of one-dimensional qubit states to answer this question in the negative. The first is a family of matrix-product states with bond dimension two that includes the cluster state as a special case, protected by a global non-onsite symmetry, which is characterized by a finite correlation length and a degenerate entanglement spectrum in the thermodynamic limit but which is unable to deterministically teleport a universal set of single-qubit gates. The second are states with bond dimension four that are a resource for deterministic universal teleportation of finite single-qubit gates, but which possess no symmetry.
