Trap** and manipulating ultracold atoms and degenerate quantum gases in magnetic
micropotentials is reviewed. Starting with a comprehensive description of the basic concepts …

Cold atomic gases have become a paradigmatic system for exploring fundamental physics,
which at the same time allows for applications in quantum technologies. The accelerating …

We present a scheme of quantum computation that consists entirely of one-qubit
measurements on a particular class of entangled states, the cluster states. The …

We propose a novel physical realization of a quantum computer. The qubits are electric
dipole moments of ultracold diatomic molecules, oriented along or against an external …

Atom chips provide a versatile quantum laboratory for experiments with ultracold atomic
gases. They have been used in diverse experiments involving low-dimensional quantum …

Quantum adiabatic processes—that keep constant the populations in the instantaneous
eigenbasis of a time-dependent Hamiltonian—are very useful to prepare and manipulate …

Matter-wave interference experiments enable us to study matter at its most basic, quantum
level and form the basis of high-precision sensors for applications such as inertial and …

The exponential growth in the rate at which information can be communicated through an
optical fibre is a key element in the 'information revolution'. However, as for all exponential …

The ability to manipulate individual atoms, ions or photons allows controlled engineering of
the quantum state of small sets of trapped particles; this is necessary to encode and process …

Abstract Although Bose–Einstein condensates,, of ultracold atoms have been experimentally
realizable for several years, their formation and manipulation still impose considerable …
