| aim of class |
In recent years the realm of quantum mechanics has entered the domain
of information technology. Enormous progress in the physical sciences
and in engineering and technology has allowed us to envisage building
novel types of information processors based on the concepts of quantum
physics. In these processors information is stored in the quantum state
of physical systems forming quantum bits (qubits). The interaction
between qubits is controlled and the resulting states are read out on
the level of single quanta in order to process information. Realizing
such challenging tasks may allow constructing an information processor
much more powerful than a classical computer. The aim of this class is
to give a thorough introduction to physical implementations pursued in
current research for realizing quantum information processors. The
field of quantum information science is one of the fastest growing and
most active domains of research in modern physics.

Basic knowledge of quantum mechanics is required, prior knowledge
in atomic physics, quantum electronics, and solid state physics is
advantageous.
