Abstract
In order to build a scalable quantum computer error correction will be required to reduce the impact of errors. Implementing error correction in the framework of measurement based computation manifests itself as the construction of fault tolerant cluster states (FTCSs). While any 2-dimensional stabilizer code can be used to construct a FTCS through the process of foliation, here we find FTCSs that cannot be constructed through foliation of a stabilizer code, and identify new examples of self-dual codes that can still be implemented in a 2-dimensional physical architecture.
