| contents | Understanding the computational overheads imposed by classical control systems on quantum computing platforms becomes critically important as these quantum machines grow in scale and complexity. In this work, we calculate the overheads imposed by the implementation of real-time graph traversal algorithms needed to find computational paths through incomplete cluster states for the implementation of one-qubit gates; a necessary requirement for a realistic implementation of photonic measurement-based quantum computing. By implementing two different algorithms, a global breadth-first search that searches the entire cluster state and an incremental version that traverses a narrow sub-section of the cluster state, we analyze the tradeoff between the accuracy of finding viable paths and the speed at which this operation can be performed, which constrains the overall photonic clock cycle of the system. We also outline the broader implications of our results for implementing classical control systems for measurement-based photonic quantum computing. |
