ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems, 2021 This article is about deterministic models, what they are, why they are useful, and what their limitations are. First, the article emphasizes that determinism is a property of models, not of physical systems. Whether a model is deterministic or not depends on how one defines the inputs and behavior of the model. To define behavior, one has to define an

Shadow Pauli Flow: Characterising Determinism in MBQCs involving Pauli Measurements [PDF]
QuantumWe introduce a new characterisation of determinism in Measurement-Based Quantum Computing (MBQC). The one-way model consists in performing local measurements over a large entangled state represented by a graph.
