It has been recognised recently that the strange features of the
quantum world could be used for new information transmission or
processing functions such as quantum cryptography or, more
ambitiously, quantum computing. These fascinating perspectives
renewed the interest in fundamental quantum properties and lead to
important theoretical advances, such as quantum algorithms and
quantum error correction codes. On the experimental side,
remarkable advances have been achieved in quantum optics, solid
state physics or nuclear magnetic resonance. This book presents the
lecture notes of the Les Houches Summer School on 'Quantum
entanglement and information processing'. Following the long
tradition of the les Houches schools, it provides a comprehensive
and pedagogical approach of the whole field, written by renowned
specialists.
One major goal of this book is to establish connections between the
communities of quantum optics and of quantum electronic devices
working in the area of quantum computing. When two communities
share the same goals, the universality of physics unavoidably leads
to similar developments. However, the communication barrier is
often high, and few physicists are able to overcome it. This school
has contributed to bridge the existing gap between communities, for
the benefit of the future actors in the field of quantum computing.
The book thus combines introductory chapters, providing the reader
with a sufficiently wide theoretical framework in quantum
information, quantum optics and quantum circuits physics, with more
specialized presentations of recent theoretical and experimental
advances in the field. This structure makes the book accessible to
any graduatestudent having a good knowledge of basic quantum
mechanics, and extremely useful to researchers.
-Covers quantum optics, solid state physics and NMR
implementations
-Pedagogical approach combining introductory lectures and advanced
chapters
-Written by leading experts in the field
-Accessible to all graduate students with a basic knowledge of
quantum mechanics
