The Manipulation, Transmission and Processing of Quantum Information
Carlos R. Stroud · 2005
Abstract : The Center for Quantum Information (CQI) is a multidisciplinary research center for the study of the processing and transmittal of information using quantum systems. The major goals of the center are to develop a toolbox of quantum procedures and protocols in a variety of elementary systems, ranging from atoms and molecules to photons and electronic nanostructures, and to formulate the elements of a quantum theory of information. To achieve these aims, CQI is based upon the interaction of several highly interdisciplinary research projects. The Center is a collaborative effort of nine professors from five universities (Rochester, Harvard, Stanford, Cornell, and Rutgers). Expertise ranges from quantum optics and atomic physics, through mesoscopic electronics, to information theory and its applications in commercial optical telecommunications systems,
