QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

Physicists in the US (including AQUTE physicist C. Monroe) have used an optical "frequency comb" to reliably entangle a pair of atomic qubits. The breakthrough bodes well for practicable quantum computing because it allows for simpler manipulation of quantum states than in previous systems.

An effective QUIE2T kick-off meeting took place in Brussels on March 19, 2010. Four QUIE2T members (V. Buzek, E. Giacobino, T. Calarco, P. Grangier) were present to discuss some future plans for the FET flagship initiative.
