Abstract
Measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC) is a universal model for quantum computation. The combinatorial characterisation of determinism in this model, powered by measurements, and hence, fundamentally probabilistic, is the cornerstone of most of the breakthrough results in this field. The most general known sufficient condition for a deterministic MBQC to be driven is that the underlying graph of the computation has a particular kind of flow called Pauli flow. The necessity of the Pauli flow was an open question. We show that Pauli flow is not necessary, providing several counter examples. We prove however that Pauli flow is necessary for determinism in the real MBQC model, an interesting and useful fragment of MBQC.
