Abstract

The quantum world is fascinating. It presents a description of nature that defies our most rooted concepts about what reality is. For example, quantum objects possess \lq\lq spooky\rq\rq\ properties that allow them to be in multiple places at the same time, to move in different directions simultaneously, or to exist and not to exist. In other words, to live several parallel stories. Making use of these parallel stories to compute is the realm of quantum computation, a world in which information is processed using the laws of quantum physics. Nowadays, quantum computers are an object of an extensive experimental and theoretical research, since it is known that, on paper, these can solve many of the current computational challenges. These are the problems that even the most sophisticated supercomputers of today, or tomorrow, will not be able to solve.
