QnTM: Manipulation of Quantum Entanglement & Decoherence in Neutral Atoms and Quantum Dots

量子计算[ www.example.com ]和量子信息科学备受赞赏和广泛关注的路线图http://qist.lanl.gov带来了中性原子腔量子电动力学和纳米量子输运的重要性。这两个系统都是非常重要的，因为量子比特被很好地定义，并且可以产生很好的纠缠特性。此外，这些领域的技术进步使得实验工作与理论相结合。最近的成功促进了腔QED的工作。将原子捕获在高质量的腔中，使这些原子保持更长的时间，这是量子信息科学的一个重要里程碑。此外，腔的质量得到了改善，这对更好地控制退相干至关重要。更广泛的影响除了这项提案的重要研究目标之外，更广泛的教育目标是为博士后，研究生和本科生提供机会。此外，主要研究人员将为当地高中生举办量子信息讲座。

Intellectual MeritThe much appreciated and extensively followed roadmap for quantum computing [http://qist.lanl.gov ]and quantum information science brings out the importance of cavity quantum electrodynamics withneutral atoms and quantum transport in nano-systems.Both the systems are extremely important as the qubits are very well defined and well characterized entanglement can be created.Besides the technological advances in these areas are making the experimental work catch fast with theory.The proposed work on cavity QED is facilitated by the very recent success on trapping atomsin a high quality cavity to hold these atoms for much longer times an important milestonefor the purposes of quantum information science.Further the quality of the cavity has beenimproved which is crucial for better control of decoherence.Broader ImpactBeyond the important research goals of this proposal,the broader educational goals areto provide opportunities for postdoc,graduate and undergraduate students.In addition,lectures on quantum information will be given by the principal investigators to local highschool students.
