Download or read book Quantum Coherence in Solid State Systems written by Benoît Deveaud and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume gives an overview of the manifestations of quantum coherence in different solid state systems, including semiconductor confined systems, magnetic systems, crystals and superconductors. Besides being of paramount importance in fundamental physics, the study of quantum coherence furnishes the starting point for important applications like quantum computing or secure data transmission. The coherent effects discussed mainly involve elementary excitations in solids like polaritons, excitons, magnons, macroscopic quantities like superconductor currents and electron spins. Also, several new aspects of the physics of quasi-particles are understood and discussed in this context. Due to the variety of systems in which quantum coherence may be observed, solid state systems are the natural candidates for applications that rely on coherence, for example quantum computer." --Book Jacket.

This book was released on 2019-04-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum mechanics, the subfield of physics that describes the behavior of very small (quantum) particles, provides the basis for a new paradigm of computing. First proposed in the 1980s as a way to improve computational modeling of quantum systems, the field of quantum computing has recently garnered significant attention due to progress in building small-scale devices. However, significant technical advances will be required before a large-scale, practical quantum computer can be achieved. Quantum Computing: Progress and Prospects provides an introduction to the field, including the unique characteristics and constraints of the technology, and assesses the feasibility and implications of creating a functional quantum computer capable of addressing real-world problems. This report considers hardware and software requirements, quantum algorithms, drivers of advances in quantum computing and quantum devices, benchmarks associated with relevant use cases, the time and resources required, and how to assess the probability of success.
Download or read book Perturbation Theory for Solid state Quantum Computation with Many Quantum Bits written by Gennady P. Berman and published by Rinton PressInc. This book was released on 2005 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quantum computer is expected capable to solve a vast range of mathematical and physical problems much faster than a classical computer. In order to be useful, the register of a quantum computer must contain a large number of qubits. Numerical simulations of quantum dynamics of a many-qubit quantum computer (for optimization of parameters, benchmarking, and architecture design) requires diagonalization of exponentially large matrices or integration for a long time of an exponentially large system of coupled differential equations. In this book, a theoretical approach is presented, wich solves the above problem by using a quantum-mechanical perturbation theory. The perturbation theory is based on small parameters that naturally appear in the system. The results of numerical simulations are widely used to support the theoretical propositions. It is demonstrated how to simulate simple quantum logic operations and quantum protocols involving a large number of qubits (up to 2000). It is especially useful for minimizing the effects of most types of errors encountered in solid-state quantum computers. Implementations of quantum algorithms are demonstrated in spin systems, quantum dots, and superconducting systems. Almost all results of the book are derived from the first principles. This book is useful for scientists, engineers, and students who are interested in quantum computing.

The second part is devoted to state-of-the-art research in designing practical quantum programs, building a scalable software systems stack, and controlling quantum hardware components. Most chapters end with a summary and an outlook for future directions. This book celebrates the remarkable progress that scientists across disciplines have made in the past decades and reveals what roles computer scientists and engineers can play to enable practical-scale quantum computing.
Download or read book Molecular Nanomagnets written by Dante Gatteschi and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanomagnetism is a rapidly expanding area of research which appears to be able to provide novel applications. Magnetic molecules are at the very bottom of the possible size of nanomagnets and they provide a unique opportunity to observe the coexistence of classical and quantum properties. The discovery in the early 90's that a cluster comprising twelve manganese ions shows hysteresis of molecular origin, and later proved evidence of quantum effects, opened a new research area which is still flourishing through the collaboration of chemists and physicists. This book is the first attempt to cover in detail the new area of molecular nanomagnetism, for which no other book is available. In fact research and review articles, and book chapters are the only tools available for newcomers and the experts in the field. It is written by the chemists originators and by a theorist who has been one of the protagonists of the development of the field, and is explicitly addressed to an audience of chemists and physicists, aiming to use a language suitable for the two communities.

Download or read book Quantum Computers Algorithms and Chaos written by G. Casati and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2006-12-19 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last ten years Quantum Information Processing and Communication (QIPC) has established itself as one of the new hot topic fields in physics, with the potential to revolutionize many areas of science and technology. QIPC replaces the laws of classical physics applied to computation and communication with the more fundamental laws of quantum mechanics. This becomes increasingly important due to technological progress going down to smaller and smaller scales where quantum effects start to be dominant. In addition to its fundamental nature, QIPC promises to advance computing power beyond the capabilities of any classical computer, to guarantee secure communication and establish direct links to emerging quantum technologies, such as, for example, quantum based sensors and clocks. One of the outstanding feature of QIPC is its interdisciplinary character: it brings together researchers from physics, mathematics and computer science. In particular, within physics we have seen the emergence of a new QIPC community, which ranges from theoretical to experimental physics, and crosses boundaries of traditionally separated disciplines such as atomic physics, quantum optics, statistical mechanics and solid state physics, all working on different and complementary aspects of QIPC. This publication covers the following topics: Introduction to quantum computing; Quantum logic, information and entanglement; Quantum algorithms; Error-correcting codes for quantum computations; Quantum measurements and control; Quantum communication; Quantum optics and cold atoms for quantum information; Quantum computing with solid state devices; Theory and experiments for superconducting qubits; Interactions in many-body systems: quantum chaos, disorder and random matrices; Decoherence effects for quantum computing; and Flature prospects of quantum information processing.
