Abstract
The quantum properties of nanosystems present a new opportunity to enhance the power of classical computers, both for the parallelism of the computation and the speed of the optical operations. In this paper we present the COPAC project aiming at development of a ground-breaking nonlinear coherent spectroscopy combining optical addressing and spatially macroscopically resolved optical readout. The discrete structure of transitions between quantum levels provides a basis for implementation of logic functions even at room temperature. Exploiting the superposition of quantum states gives rise to the possibility of parallel computation by encoding different input values into transition frequencies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
