Quantum random access memory

V Giovannetti, S Lloyd, L Maccone - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
A random access memory (RAM) uses n bits to randomly address N= 2 n distinct memory
cells. A quantum random access memory (QRAM) uses n qubits to address any quantum …

Effective quantum spin systems with trapped ions

D Porras, JI Cirac - Physical review letters, 2004 - APS
We show that the physical system consisting of trapped ions interacting with lasers may
