These methods are compared in terms of asymptotic gate cost and other parameters. Furthermore, a proof of Bell’s theorem is explored with new results concerning the probability of contradicting elements of reality using W-states."; "Worcester Polytechnic Institute"; "2020-05-16"; "2020"; "2020-08-21T22:14:54.777394896-04:00"^^; "E-project-051620-220950"; ; "Major Qualifying Project"; "Interdisciplinary"; ; ; "http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"; ; ; "This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement.
