Quantum information processing, a vibrant field of research at the intersection of physics, mathematics and computer science, has seen tremendous progress over the last couple of years, both with respect to the experimental realization of stable qubits (the quantum analog to bits in conventional computing) and the fundamental understanding, development and implementation of quantum-based algorithms. Consequently, proof-of-concept studies have unambiguously shown that quantum computers are possible and have the potential to dramatically exceed the capabilities of today’s conventional computers.
This comprehensive handbook on the rapidly advancing field presents the foundations of quantum information, taking into account the current state of research and development, and the emerging and already realized applications in quantum technology. It thus covers all current concepts in quantum computing, both theoretical and experimental, before moving on to the latest implementations of quantum computing and communication protocols. It is a must-have for experimental and theoretical physicists in academia and industry as well as for materials scientists, engineers and computer scientists who work in the field of quantum information.

عن المؤلف
Dagmar Bruß graduated at RWTH University Aachen, Germany, and received her Ph D in theoretical particle physics from the University of Heidelberg in 1994. As a research fellow at the University of Oxford she became interested in quantum information. Another European fellowship at ISI Torino, Italy, followed. While being a research assistant at the University of Hannover she completed her habilitation. Since 2004 Professor Bruß has been holding a chair at the Institute of Theoretical Physics at Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Germany. Her research pertains to theoretical aspects of quantum information processing.
Gerd Leuchs studied physics and mathematics at the University of Cologne, Germany, and received his Ph.D. in 1978. After two years at the University of Colorado in Boulder, USA, he headed the German gravitational wave detection group from 1985 to 1989. He became technical director at Nanomach AG in Switzerland. Since 1994 Professor Leuchs has been holding the chair for optics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. In 2009 he was a founding director of the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light. He is visiting professor at the University of Ottawa. His fields of research span the range from modern aspects of classical optics to quantum optics and quantum information.
