We consider a model of quantum computation using qubits where it is possible to measure whether a given pair are in a singlet (total spin 0) or triplet (total spin 1) state. The physical motivation is that we can do these measurements in a way that is protected against revealing other information so long as all terms in the Hamiltonian are SU(2)-invariant. We conjecture that this model is equivalent to BQP. Towards this goal, we show: (1) this model is capable of universal quantum computation with polylogarithmic overhead if it is supplemented by single qubit X and Z gates. (2) Without any additional gates, it is at least as powerful as the weak model of "permutational quantum computation" of Jordan [14, 18]. (3) With postselection, the model is equivalent to PostBQP.

What additional gates are needed for a set of classical universal gates to do universal quantum computation? We prove that any single-qubit real gate suffices, except those that preserve the computational basis. The Gottesman-Knill Theorem implies that any quantum circuit involving only the Controlled-NOT and Hadamard gates can be efficiently simulated by a classical circuit. In contrast, we prove that Controlled-NOT plus any single-qubit real gate that does not preserve the computational basis and is not Hadamard (or its like) are universal for quantum computing. Previously only a generic gate, namely a rotation by an angle incommensurate with \pi, is known to be sufficient in both problems, if only one single-qubit gate is added.

We investigate the possibility to have electron-pairs in decoherence-free subspace (DFS), by means of the quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) and single-spin rotations, to deterministically carry out a universal quantum computation with high-fidelity. We show that our QCA device with electrons tunneling in two dimensions is very suitable for DFS encoding, and argue that our design favors a scalable quantum computation robust to collective dephasing errors.
