Quantum computing, which leverages fundamental principles of quantum mechanics such as quantum superposition and quantum entanglement to process information and perform computations, holds immense potential for various applications and developments. However, its physical implementation is currently plagued by substantial challenges. Recently, the fusion-based quantum computing scheme has garnered considerable attention. This scheme relies on periodically generated resource states, linking them into a fusion network via fusion measurements to achieve high fault-tolerant efficiency. This study introduces the fundamental principles, fault-tolerant performance, and resource state generation schemes of fusion-based quantum computing. Finally, we discuss future developments in hardware implementation and fault-tolerant efficiency.
