TUTORIAL AND SYMPOSIA

Tutorial



Quantum Information Processing has received considerable attention in both the popular press and professional journals. But what does “Quantum Information Processing” mean, and why should we care about it? This tutorial session will explain the motivation and technical requirements for quantum information processing and introduce three experimental platforms for a quantum computer. The first speaker will present methods that allow electrical control of spin. The second speaker will show how light can be used to control spin interactions. The third speaker will introduce the world’s first commercially-available quantum computer. The tutorial will be accessible to those with no background in the subject, but will also present new results that will be of interest to specialists. The tutorial session is organized by the Education Committee of the IEEE Magnetics Society.
