Solid-state Quantum Computing : Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Solid-State Quantum Computing & Mini-School on Quantum Information Science

The IWSSQC 2008 covered all aspects of solid-state implementations for quantum information processing, and topics that were addressed included both theoretical and experimental attempts. The specific topics covered in these proceedings include superconducting circuit QED, quantum measurement of solid-state qubits, entanglement in solid-state devices, semiconductor donor spin quantum computing, decoherence and disentanglement in quantum open systems, and mesoscopic electron transport. It provides a unique opportunity for experts and beginners to gain insight into the rapidly growing field of Quantum Information Science. It is also useful as a reference book for graduate students and researchers in physics and engineering.
