Abstract

We describe a joint cohomological framework for measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC) and the corresponding contextuality proofs. The central object in this framework is an element [ βΨ] in the second cohomology group of the chain complex describing a given MBQC. [ βΨ] contains the function computed therein up to gauge equivalence, and at the same time is a contextuality witness. The present cohomological description only applies to temporally flat MBQCs, and we outline an approach for extending it to the temporally ordered case.
