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 …

Quantum theory has been successfully validated in numerous laboratory experiments. But
would such a theory, which effectively describes the behavior of microscopic physical …

All our former experience with application of quantum theory seems to say that what is
predicted by quantum formalism must occur in the laboratory. But the essence of quantum …

During the last ten years, superconducting circuits have passed from being interesting
physical devices to becoming contenders for near-future useful and scalable quantum …

Quantum simulation traditionally relies on unitary dynamics, inherently imposing efficiency
constraints on the generation of intricate entangled states. In principle, these limitations can …

The control of individual quantum systems promises a new technology for the 21st century-
