Basic Elements of Quantum Information Technology

Overview The marriage of quantum physics and information technology has the potential to generate radically new information processing devices. Examples are quantum cryptosystems, which provide guaranteed secure communication, and quantum computers, which manipulate data quantum mechanically and could thus solve some problems currently intractable to conventional (classical) computations. This introductory chapter serves two purposes. Firstly, I discuss some of the basic aspects of quantum physics, which underpin quantum information technology (QIT). These will be used (and in some cases further expanded upon) in subsequent chapters. Secondly, and as a lead into the whole book, I outline some of the ideas of QIT and its possible uses.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Quantum wells and problem solving

This was especially true of quantum mechanics and more specifically in areas concerned with semiconductor devices and the finite detail of electronic mechanisms. On one occasion I was reflecting on the principal of the 'quantum well'.

RSA algorithm inventors win Turing award

However, in a later session, RSA's Shamir drew a parallel between the Iraq situation and quantum cryptography, drawing a parallel with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal - a cornerstone of quantum physics.
