How to build a quantum computer /

---

"Version: 20171101"--Title page verso.Includes bibliographical references (pages 14-15).Quantum computer technology is progressing rapidly with dozens of qubits and hundreds of quantum logic gates now possible. Although current quantum computer technology is distant from being able to solve computational problems beyond the reach of non-quantum computers, experiments have progressed well beyond simply demonstrating the requisite components. We can now operate small quantum logic processors with connected networks of qubits and quantum logic gates, which is a great stride towards functioning quantum computers. This book aims to be accessible to a broad audience with basic knowledge of computers, electronics and physics. The goal is to convey key notions relevant to building quantum computers and to present state-of-the-art quantum-computer research in various media such as trapped ions, superconducting circuits, photonics and beyond.Final-year undergraduates, new PhD students and early-career scientists.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Barry Sanders is the director of the Institute for Quantum Science and Technology at the University of Calgary, Canada and holds a Thousand Talents Chair in the National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale at the University of Science and Technology China. His BSc degree is from the University of Calgary and he completed a Diploma of Imperial College London supervised by Sir Thomas Kibble followed by a PhD at Imperial College London supervised by Sir Peter Knight. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Australian National University and the Universities of Queensland and Waikato and then was a Macquarie University professor from 1991 to 2003. In 2003, Sanders joined the University of Calgary as an iCORE chair and later Alberta Innovates-Technology Futures chair. Sanders's leadership roles include being a former president of the Australian Optical Society; founding co-chair of the Canadian Association of Physicists Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics; and founding leader of the Optical Society of America Quantum Optical Science and Technology Technical Group. He is editor-in-chief of New Journal of Physics; a former remote-staff associate editor of Physical Review A; a former editor of Optics Communications; and a former editor of Mathematical Structures of Computer Science.Title from PDF title page (viewed on December 11, 2017).
