Quantum information processing with neutral atomsMy research concentrates on theoretically developing schemes for implementing quantum computing devices in quantum optical setups. Quantum optics provides several promising tools for the realization of quantum logic including trapped ions, cavity QED and neutral trapped atoms. I am mainly interested in neutral trapped atoms where outstanding experimental advances have led to a variety of novel systems over the past few years. In particular the experimental creation of strongly correlated atomic systems like the Mott insulator or the Tonks-Girardeau gas with well controlled external parameters and very little decoherence might prove to be very useful building blocks for future scalable quantum computing devices. However, since one cannot expect the realization of a universal quantum computer within the near future I am also studying setups that could be used for special purposes in quantum information processing like quantum simulations of physical systems and devices for quantum communication protocols. This research is supplemented by investigations on the nature and controllability of different types of interactions between the atoms. Two atom interactions are necessary for the creation of entanglement and they are thus essential in quantum computing applications.
