The Pontiff has an interesting preprint here:
Adiabatic Cluster State Quantum Computing
Which suggests that it might be possible to implement gates on a suitable AQC architecture (I wonder where we could find one of those?) by slowly changing the overall Hamiltonian of the system to ‘encode’ gates along the way. Measurement is then only required at the end of the computation at the readout stage. Or at least that’s what I think happens 
Interesting…
The imagery I get from adiabatic clusters is of the scene in Hush where Jacob is trying to avoid getting taken apart by the “sentient cluster”. I think they meant “adiabatic cluster”… the horror…
lol – the imagery I had was more like:
‘Delicious adiabatic clusters covered in smooth milk chocolate’
I think your interpretation is better though…
