Description

First proposed in the 1970s, quantum computing relies on quantum physics by taking advantage of certain quantum physics properties of atoms or nuclei that allow them to work together as quantum bits, or qubits, to be the computer's processor and memory. By interacting with each other while being isolated from the external environment, qubits can perform certain calculations exponentially faster than conventional computers.

  1. The Pioneers of Quantum Computing

    Online Presentations | 19 Nov 2010 | Contributor(s):: David P. Di Vincenzo

    This talk profiles the persons whose insights and visions created the subject of quantum information science. Some famous, some not, they all thought deeply about the puzzles and contradictions that were apparent to the founders of quantum theory. After many years of germination, the confluence...

  2. An Introduction to Quantum Computing

    5.0 out of 5 stars 

    Online Presentations | 12 Sep 2008 | Contributor(s):: Edward Gerjuoy

    Quantum mechanics, as formulated more than 80 years ago by Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Dirac and other greats, is a wholly sufficient foundation for its modern interrelated subfields of quantum computation (qc) and quantum information (qi), which generally are lumped together into a single subfield...

  3. MCW07 A Quantum Open Systems Approach to Molecular-Scale Devices

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    Online Presentations | 25 Feb 2008 | Contributor(s):: Yongqiang Xue

    Experimental advances in electrically and optically probing individual molecules have provided new insights into the behavior of single quantum objects and their interaction with the nanoenvironments without requiring ensemble average. Molecular-scale devices are open quantum systems whose...

  4. MCW07 Physics of Contact Induced Current Asymmetry in Transport Through Molecules

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    Online Presentations | 25 Feb 2008 | Contributor(s):: Bhaskaran Muralidharan, owen miller, Neeti Kapur, Avik Ghosh, Supriyo Datta

    We first outline the qualitatively different physics involved in the charging-induced current asymmetries in molecular conductors operating in the strongly coupled (weakly interacting) self-consistent field (SCF) and the weakly coupled (strongly interacting) Coulomb Blockade (CB) regimes. The CB...

  5. A Primer on Quantum Computing

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    Online Presentations | 18 Oct 2006 | Contributor(s):: David D. Nolte

    Quantum computers would represent an exponential increase in computing power...if they can be built. This tutorial describes the theoretical background to quantum computing, its potential for several specific applications, and the demanding challenges facing practical implementation. The field...

  8. Control of Exchange Interaction in a Double Dot System

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    Online Presentations | 05 Feb 2004 | Contributor(s):: Mike Stopa

    As Rolf Landauer observed in 1960, information is physical. As a consequence, the transport and processing of information must obey the laws of physics. It therefore makes sense to base the laws of information processing and computation on the laws of physics and in particular on quantum...
