DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rainer Blatt\nhosted by Johannes Fink\nAbstract: Since
  the mid-nineties of the 20th century\, it became apparent that one of the
  centuries’ most important technological inventions\, computers in genera
 l and many of their applications could possibly be further enhanced by usi
 ng operations based on quantum physics. This is timely since the classical
  roadmap for the development of computational devices\, commonly known as 
 Moore’s law\, will cease to be applicable within the next decade. This is
  due to the ever-smaller sizes of the electronic components that will ente
 r the realm of quantum physics. Computations\, whether they happen in our 
 heads or with any computational device\, always rely on real physical devi
 ces and processes. Data input\, data representation in a memory\, data man
 ipulation using algorithms and finally\, data output require physical real
 izations with devices and practical procedures. Building a quantum compute
 r then requires the implementation of quantum bits (qubits) as storage sit
 es for quantum information\, quantum registers and quantum gates for data 
 handling and processing as well as the development of quantum algorithms.\
 nIn this talk\, the basic functional principle of a quantum computer will 
 be reviewed. It will be shown how strings of trapped ions can be used to b
 uild a quantum information processor and how basic computations can be per
 formed using quantum techniques. In particular\, the quantum way of doing 
 computations will be illustrated with analog and digital quantum simulatio
 ns\, which range from the simulation of quantum many-body spin systems ove
 r open quantum systems to the quantum simulation of a lattice gauge theory
 .
