The Ion Trap Quantum Information Processor

An introductory review of the linear ion trap is given, with particular regard to its use for quantum information processing. The discussion aims to bring together ideas from information theory and experimental ion trapping, to provide a resource to workers unfamiliar with one or the other of these subjects. It is shown that information theory provides valuable concepts for the experimental use...

Ion-Trap Quantum Computation

Quantum computation requires a very special physical environment. Numerous operations must be performed on the quantum states of the qubits (or quantum bits) before those states decohere, or lose the interlocking phase relationships that give quantum computation its power. Thought to be an unavoidable outcome of the interaction between the quantum state and the environment, decoherence threaten...
