Publisher's Synopsis
An actual insight into the current research of quantum superposition, entanglement, and the quantum measurement process, while also considering quantum protocols and algorithms. The contributions – written by leading experts ? stem from a German Research Foundation (DFG) program on quantum information and bring together the latest results as well as addressing technological questions. – Algorithms for quantum systems – Quantum error correction with jump codes – Increasing the size of NMR quantum computers – Entanglement properties of composite quantum systems – Entanglement and decoherence – Strongly coupled atom–cavity systems – Spin resonance with trapped ions: experiments and new concepts – Neutral atoms on atom chips – Multiphoton entanglement – A quantum optical XOR gate
