Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in quantum devices for the production,
storage, and transfer of energy. This Colloquium concentrates on the field of quantum …

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 …

Coherence refers to correlations in waves. Because matter has a wave-particle nature, it is
unsurprising that coherence has deep connections with the most contemporary issues in …

Optical communication channels have redefined the scope and applications of classical
computing; similarly, photonic transfer of quantum information promises to open new …

This work is concerned with determination of the steady-state structure of time-independent
Lindblad master equations, especially those possessing more than one steady state. The …

Quantum coherence is a critical resource for many operational tasks. Understanding how to
quantify and manipulate it also promises to have applications for a diverse set of problems in …

Over the course of the past decade, decoherence has become a ubiquitous scienti? c term
popular in all kinds of research, from fundamental theories of quantum physics to …

Quantum error correction (QEC) and fault-tolerant quantum computation represent one of
the most vital theoretical aspects of quantum information processing. It was well known from …

Reinvigorated by advances and insights, in particular from the active fields of quantum
information and computing, the quantum theory of irreversible processes has recently …

Quantum states are very delicate, so it is likely some sort of quan-tum error correction will be
necessary to build reliable quantum computers. The theory of quantum error-correcting …
