EECS Colloquium

Abstract

Quantum computers are devices for processing information at the scale of atoms, photons and spins. Because of their ability to process information in a way that preserves quantum-mechanical coherence, quantum computers can perform tasks that classical computers can't. This talk discusses new developments in the theory of quantum computation and presents recent experimental results in the application of quantum information processing to problems of computation, communications, and control.
