Classical simulation of limited-width cluster-state quantum computation
  We present a classical protocol, using the matrix product state representation, to simulate cluster-state quantum computation at a cost polynomial in the number of qubits in the cluster and exponential in d -- the width of the cluster. We use this result to show that any log-depth quantum computation in the gate array model, with gates linking only nearby qubits, can be simulated efficiently on a classical computer.
