The ground state(s) of a Hamiltonian, introduced by Affleck, Kennedy, Lieb and Tasaki, in connection with the Valence-Bond-Solid (VBS) states, are explicitly given for the spin-1 chains. The structure of these ground states is a rather simple one. For a closed chain we find a unique ground state; for the open chain we find a fourfold-degenerate ground state. The ground state correlation function for the ring is calculated.

Measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC) is a model of quantum computing that proceeds by sequential measurements of individual spins in an entangled resource state. However, it remains a challenge to produce efficiently such resource states. Would it be possible to generate these states by simply cooling a quantum many-body system to its ground state? Cluster states, the canonical resource states for MBQC, do not occur naturally as unique ground states of physical systems. This inherent hurdle has led to a significant effort to identify alternative resource states that appear as ground states in spin lattices. Recently, some interesting candidates have been identified with various valence-bond-solid (VBS) states. In this review, we provide a pedagogical introduction to recent progress regarding MBQC with VBS states as possible resource states. This study has led to an interesting interdisciplinary research area at the interface of quantum information science and condensed matter physics.
