Physical Realizations Of Quantum Computing: Are The Divincenzo Criteria Fulfilled In 2004? (With Cd-rom)

The contributors of this volume are working at the forefront of various realizations of quantum computers. They survey the recent developments in each realization, in the context of the DiVincenzo criteria, including nuclear magnetic resonance, Josephson junctions, quantum dots, and trapped ions. There are also some theoretical contributions which have relevance in the physical realizations of a q...
