Over the past several decades, quantum information science has emerged to seek answers
to the question: can we gain some advantage by storing, transmitting and processing …

Coherent preparation by laser light of quantum states of atoms and molecules can lead to
quantum interference in the amplitudes of optical transitions. In this way the optical …

Rydberg atoms with principal quantum number n⪢ 1 have exaggerated atomic properties
including dipole-dipole interactions that scale as n 4 and radiative lifetimes that scale as n 3 …

After a brief introduction to the principles and promise of quantum information processing,
the requirements for the physical implementation of quantum computation are discussed …

The first quantum technology that harnesses quantum mechanical effects for its core
operation has arrived in the form of commercially available quantum key distribution …

The technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), which allows efficient and
selective population transfer between quantum states without suffering loss due to …

We propose a scheme to utilize photons for ideal quantum transmission between atoms
located at spatially separated nodes of a quantum network. The transmission protocol …

The superposition principle plays the most central role in all considerations of quantum
information, and in most of the" gedanken" experiments and even the paradoxes of quantum …

Quantum error correction is an indispensable ingredient for scalable quantum computing. In
this Perspective we discuss a particular class of quantum codes called “quantum low-density …

The electronic spin degrees of freedom in semiconductors typically have decoherence times
that are several orders of magnitude longer than other relevant time scales. A solid-state …
