Quantum Computing

P. Zoller

In this tutorial we review basic ideas of quantum computing, from quantum bits and state entanglement to quantum gates and quantum networks [1]. In addition, we give an overview over possible physical implementations of quantum gates[2-6], with emphasis on quantum optical systems: this includes ion traps [2,3], and cavity QED in the optical and microwave domain [4-6], Fundamental problems of building quantum computers, in particular the decoherence problem, and error correction schemes for quantum memory elements [7] and quantum gates [8] will be discussed. We conclude with a critical evaluation what should be expected from quantum computing ideas in terms of applications in physics (quantum optics) and mathematics within the nest few years.

Quantum technology has made great strides in recent years. While quantum computers offer many benefits, we are far from seeing them implemented on a mass scale. Here we review the basic building blocks of quantum information processing, identify the advantages of quantum physics over classical physics, explain how quantum communication protocols work and identify the challenges we need to overcome to realize a quantum computer.

A Tutorial On Quantum Computation And Communication

M.A.R. Ghonaimy

The aim of this tutorial is to introduce the field of quantum computation and communication. Evolution of quantum computation starting from the Quantum Turing Machine model will be briefly given. Then the circuit model using quantum gates is presented together with representative quantum algorithms that are executed more efficiently on a quantum computer. The recent quantum cluster-state model is then presented. Implementation considerations are also briefly outlined. Quantum communication concepts with particular emphasis on quantum key distribution for secure communication are presented. Achievements so far in the quantum network project supported by DARPA is briefly outlined. Finally, some basic ideas regarding quantum Internet will be given.

Quantum Technologies for Information Processing

Jordi Tura i Brugués

English: Since its genesis, quantum mechanics has proved to be a very accurate model for predicting the behavior of the world below the nanoscale. However, crucial breakthroughs in technology were needed in order to be able to effectively access and manipulate such small magnitudes. During the last twenty years, the field of quantum information processing has experienced a growing interest, in its many variants, both theoretically and practically. Despite being still at a very basic stage, expectations are high. The uniqueness of quantum phenomena (superposition of states, creation of entanglement, etc.) have no classical analogue and allow novelties such as another paradigm of computation, more secure communications, quantum teleportation, quantum dense coding, etc. which are presented and analyzed here. The aim of this Thesis is to present in a unified way the main mathematical methods used in quantum information processing, as well as the state of the art of their corresponding technological implementations. Our contributions are based in making a self-contained presentation; seeking completeness, that is, treating the most relevant fields of research involved, focusing on their relations; and picking the most relevant, insightful references, given the quantity of literature produced in this field. We also discuss some of the fundamental questions that remain still unanswered, and which are the current lines of research to shed light on them.
