The growth of the construction industry is severely limited by the myriad complex challenges
it faces such as cost and time overruns, health and safety, productivity and labour shortages …

BACKGROUND The past two decades have seen intense efforts aimed at building quantum
computing hardware with the potential to solve problems that are intractable on classical …

We report on an elementary quantum network of two atomic ions separated by 230 m. The
ions are trapped in different buildings and connected with 520 (2) m of optical fiber. At each …

A universal fault-tolerant quantum computer that can efficiently solve problems such as
integer factorization and unstructured database search requires millions of qubits with low …

In this short review article, we aim to provide physicists not working within the quantum
computing community a hopefully easy-to-read introduction to the state of the art in the field …

Quantum information processing is steadily progressing from a purely academic discipline
towards applications throughout science and industry. Transitioning from lab-based, proof-of …

The aim of this review is to provide quantum engineers with an introductory guide to the
central concepts and challenges in the rapidly accelerating field of superconducting …

Trapped ions are among the most promising systems for practical quantum computing (QC).
The basic requirements for universal QC have all been demonstrated with ions, and …

The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

Quantum decoherence plays a pivotal role in the dynamical description of the quantum-to-
classical transition and is the main impediment to the realization of devices for quantum …
