Semiconductor Quantum Bits

This book highlights the state-of-the-art qubit implementations in semiconductors, providing an extensive overview of this newly emerging field. Semiconductor nanostructures have huge potential as future quantum information devices as they provide simultaneously various ways of qubit implementation (electron spin, electronic excitation) as well as a way to transfer quantum information from these stationary qubits to flying qubits (photons). For this reason, this book unites contributions from leading experts in the field, reporting cutting-edge results on spin qubit preparation, read-out, and transfer. The latest theoretical as well as experimental studies of decoherence in these quantum information systems are also provided. Novel demonstrations of complex flying qubit states and first applications of semiconductor-based quantum information devices are given too.

"Undoubtedly the book represents the interest for scientists working in this field and related physics fields. It is not a textbook, but [a detailed study] of the suggested material is very important for postgraduate students specializing in the modern optics of nanosubjects and theorists studying quantum computer theory." --Igor A. Merkulov, University of Tennessee, USA "This book provides a timely summary of the state of the art from established groups around the world and will serve as a critical reference for researchers and students working to advance the frontier. The editors have done an excellent job in collecting and assembling the topics and authors for the most important areas." --Duncan G. Steel, University of Michigan, USA
