Introduction to Optical Quantum Information Processing

by Brendon W. Lovett, Pieter Kok, Brendon W Lovett

Book Overview

Quantum information processing offers fundamental improvements over classical information processing, such as computing power, secure communication, and high-precision measurements. However, the best way to create practical devices is not yet known. This textbook describes the techniques that are likely to be used in implementing optical quantum information processors. After developing the fundamental concepts in quantum optics and quantum information...
