'''Optical cluster states''' are a proposed tool to achieve quantum computational universality in [[linear optical quantum computing]] (LOQC).<ref>Kok, P. et al., [https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0512071 "Linear optical computing with photonic qubits"], ''Rev. Mod. Phys.'', March, 2007.</ref> As direct [[quantum entanglement|entangling]] operations with [[photon]]s often require [[nonlinear optics|nonlinear]] effects, probabilistic generation of entangled resource states has been proposed as an alternative path to the direct approach.
