Engineered Quantum Systems for Quantum Information

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

In recent years, quantum information science has advanced rapidly, with quantum cryptography systems already commercially available. These systems are an example of quantum channels, serving mainly to distribute quantum information. There is a significant effort underway to combine these quantum channels with quantum nodes that would offer basic memory, processing and routing capability. The combination of these channels and nodes would create a fully quantum network, enabling applications simply impossible today. Quantum networks connecting simple quantum processing nodes are also a promising architecture for a scalable quantum computer.
