This project initiated on 8/1/97 with the goal of experimentally realizing small quantum computers using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, Our collaboration involved four groups with Stanford and IBM developing algorithms and numerical models, UC Berkeley synthesizing molecules and implementing algorithms at their high magnetic field NMR facility, and MIT investigating scaling to 100s of quantum bits and desktop size apparatuses. Our three principal aims were to: (1) Make quantum information processing feasible to transcend the classical limits in computation and communications (2) Take advantage of the inherent computational capability of physical systems using natural materials to eliminate the need for billion-dollar fabs, and (3) Integrate the physics, chemistry, electrical and mechanical engineering, computer science and mathematics needed to develop and deploy useful quantum information technology. |
