SUMMARY:10th Annual Meeting of SQuInT

DESCRIPTION:The progress in modern information technology implies that
  transistors and other circuit\nelements will operate in the single-el
 ectron limit within a decade or two\, and will reach atomic dimensions
  a few decades after that. At some point along this path\, technology 
 will cross the quantum/classical boundary and enter a whole new world 
 of quantum mechanical information processing based on coherent quantum
  dynamics. Quantum information science has already forced a reevaluati
 on of the traditional notions of computational complexity\, by showing
  that the underlying model of computation cannot ignore the ultimately
  quantum mechanical nature of information encoding and processing. Thi
 s impacts not only the foundations of theoretical computer science\, b
 ut also opens avenues for computing power far beyond the fastest class
 ical devices. Many physical implementations of quantum information hav
 e been explored\, and a few are now at a point where a fault tolerant 
 quantum processor architecture can be envisioned. More broadly\, devic
 es whose components are manifestly quantum can perform tasks that are 
 impossible within the framework of classical physics\, such as secure 
 communication\, teleportation\, and metrology beyond the standard quan
 tum limit.
