Download or read book Physical Realizations Of Quantum Computing: Are The Divincenzo Criteria Fulfilled In 2004? (With Cd-rom) written by Mikio Nakahara and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2006-03-09 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors of this volume are working at the forefront of various realizations of quantum computers. They survey the recent developments in each realization, in the context of the DiVincenzo criteria, including nuclear magnetic resonance, Josephson junctions, quantum dots, and trapped ions. There are also some theoretical contributions which have relevance in the physical realizations of a quantum computer. This book fills the gap between elementary introductions to the subject and highly specialized research papers to allow beginning graduate students to understand the cutting-edge of research in the shortest possible time.
