Track A: Read and discuss chapter 3 from QED.
Track B: Quantum Information.
Read the article on Quantum Information (Monroe), and one of the other articles, on Quantum Teleportation, or Quantum Cryptography (feel free to read all three!).
Then write a summary, including two of the following three topics:
1: -describing the basic operating principles of these systems
-describing several systems that people are investigating
-commenting on the implementation challenges
-summarizing the main advantages of quantum computing
2: -summarizing the main advantages over classical encryption: how does quantum mechanics help?
-describing the basic q. cryptography operating protocol
3: -explaining as best you can the phenomenon of entanglement
-describing the basic q. teleportation protocol
-explaining in what ways this teleportation is similar or different from the 'Star Trek' "teleportation".
