Introduction to Quantum Information Processing — Draft W. L¨ ucke SS 2005 Institute for Physics and Physical Technologies Clausthal University Of Technology Leibnizstraße 4 D-38678 Clausthal–Zellerfeld E 3 Preface Quantum information processing is one of the most fascinating and active fields of contemporary physics. Its central topic is the coherent control of quantum states in order to perform tasks — like quantum teleportation, absolutely secure data transmission and efficient factorization of large integers — that do not seem possible by means of classical systems alone. The vast possibilities of physical implementations are currently being extensively studied and evaluated. Various proof-of-principle experiments have already been performed. However, in the present note only some possiblities can be indicated. Main emphasis will be on quantum optical methods, indispensable for transmission of quantum information.
