Proceedings of the Quantum Computation for Physical Modeling Workshop 2004. Held in North Falmouth, MA on 12-15 September 2004
Jeffrey Yepez, Timothy F. Havel
This workshop focused on the development of prototype quantum information processors, quantum algorithms used for physical modeling applications, and efficient numerical simulations. The Air Force Research Laboratory hosted the Quantum Computation for Physical Modeling (QCPM) Workshop 2004 on 12-15 September 2004, our third bi-annual workshop on quantum computation for physical modeling held at The Harbor View Hotel on Martha's Vineyard. The workshop was hosted by our laboratory and sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). The three day workshop comprised six sessions spanning the following research areas: (1) quantum algorithms; (2) quantum effects and devices; (3) superconductive quantum information processing; (4) nuclear magnetic resonance quantum information processing; (5) quantum information, quantum cryptography and quantum communication. We reviewed the research progress carried out by our extramural university research programs following our laboratory's in-house basic research mission and funded through confederated AFOSR grants. Our workshop focused on the development of prototype quantum information processors and quantum algorithms used for physical modeling applications and efficient numerical simulations. The workshop was an outstanding and unqualified success and represents a new milestone in our progress toward achieving a practical quantum computer using state-of-the-art nanotechnology.
