Quantum Optical Implementations of Current Quantum Computing Paradigms
Abstract
We have taken a systematic study of the use of the tools of quantum optics for the implementation of tasks relevant to quantum information and computing. As is widely recognized, the maturation of the field may lead to dramatic improvements in current abilities to process data, communicate securely, and simulate natural processes. Applications range from decoding cryptographic codes and secure key distribution to reducing the complexity of computational problems such as database search and pattern recognition. The key tools we use to accomplish quantum information tasks are coherence in atomic and photonic systems, and the entanglement between correlated subsystems, both of which have been extensively studied in this report.
