A paper dance today! Yes, indeed, it's another slow dance (scirate, arXiv:0912.2098):

Adiabatic Cluster State Quantum Computing
Authors: Dave Bacon, Steven T. Flammia

Abstract: Models of quantum computation are important because they change the physical requirements for achieving universal quantum computation (QC). For example, one-way QC requires the preparation of an entangled "cluster" state followed by adaptive measurement on this state, a set of requirements which is different from the standard quantum circuit model. Here we introduce a model based on one-way QC but without measurements (except for the final readout), instead using adiabatic deformation of a Hamiltonian whose initial ground state is the cluster state. This opens the possibility to use the copious results from one-way QC to build more feasible adiabatic schemes.

QIP Talks That Have arXiv Papers
QIP 2010 talks and associated papers if I could find them (amazing how almost all papers for this conference are available, for free, online at one location....also interesting how papers seem to cluster in the 10-12 months of the listings :) ) If anyone has corrections please leave a comment.…
Adiabaticly Failing for Random Instances
An interesting paper on the arXiv's today, arXiv:0908.2782, "Adiabatic quantum optimization fails for random instances of NP-complete problems" by Boris Altshuler, Hari Krovi, and Jeremie Roland. Trouble for D-wave? Adiabatic quantum algorithms are a set of techniques for designing quantum…

So... do you want us to try to build this thing? What would you do with it (ie if you had to pick a specific algorithm to run what would you pick)?

Like all theorists, of course I want to build it! ..but sadly I will probably just stand by as experimentalists ignore me :(
