Quantum Information A Promise for Revolution In Information Processing

Abstract

Quantum information is an exciting field that promises a revolution in information processing. We know of quantum algorithms and protocols that are much more powerful than that of their classical counterpart. In this talk, I will describe recent progress using NMR systems for quantum computation. I will briefly comment on a recent experiment on the solid state version of NMR and explain how it can solve some of the problems raised in the liquid state systems. I will also describe a few experiments where sufficient control has been achieved to describe interesting protocols such as health bath algorithmic cooling.
