Ebook: Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Experimental Implementation of Quantum Computation: Sydney, Australia, 16-19 January 2001

This work presents reports of developments in the experimental implementation of quantum computer proposals worldwide. It also includes theoretical investigations relevant to the various computer architectures, implementation strategies and computer operation. The reports provide a framework that sets out both the challenges of the various experimental proposals together with progress that has been made in overcoming these challenges.
