Surprisingly, it is possible to realize quantum computation using only beam-splitters, single photon sources and photo-detectors with feedback. One scheme for doing this builds on a series of schemes, starting with implementations of quantum gates by post-selection. The schemes will be explained in detail in a series of seminars. Along the way, much of what is known about quantum error-correction and fault tolerant computation will be explained.
