Abstract:
Information processing based on fundamental principles of quantum
mechanics has attracted large interest during the last decade. Quantum
information processing in solid state devices are of particular
interest, due to the prospect of scalability and integrability with
conventional electronics. I will give an overview of the theoretical
and experimental progress in the field and discuss possible
implementations of the fundamental building blocks, the quantum bits,
in superconducting and quantum dot systems. I will also present our
recent proposal to generate, manipulate and detect orbital quantum
bits in Quantum Hall systems.
