Quantum Information Processing: An Essential Primer

Quantum Information Processing Theory

Definition Quantum information processing theory is an alternative mathematical approach for generating theories of how an observer processes information. Typically, quantum information processing models are derived from the axiomatic principles of quantum probability theory. This probability theory may be viewed as a generalization of classic probability. Quantum information processing models ...

NMR Quantum Information Processing

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has provided a valuable experimental testbed for quantum information processing (QIP). Here, we briefly review the use of nuclear spins as qubits, and discuss the current status of NMR-QIP. Advances in the techniques available for control are described along with the various implementations of quantum algorithms and quantum simulations that have been performed u...

Why Quantum Information Processing

In this brief note, I will consider the following questions: (1) What is QIP? (2) Why QIP is interesting? (3) What QIP can do? (4) What QIP cannot do? (5) What are the major challenges in QIP? Some guest lecturers may also be invited for special topics on the subject.

Quantum Information Processing

Richard Feynman first proposed the idea of performing computations on the quantum scale in 1982, and went on to characterized primitive quantum logic gates three years later.[3] In the decade that followed, a series of theoretical discoveries spurred the interest in practical implementations of quantum computing. The Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm [1], first presented in 1992, was the first truly quan...
