About the Book

Quantum information processing offers fundamental improvements over classical information processing, such as computing power, secure communication, and high-precision measurements. However, the best way to create practical devices is not yet known. This textbook describes the techniques that are likely to be used in implementing optical quantum information processors. After developing the fundamental concepts in quantum optics and quantum information theory, the book shows how optical systems can be used to build quantum computers according to the most recent ideas. It discusses implementations based on single photons and linear optics, optically controlled atoms and solid-state systems, atomic ensembles, and optical continuous variables. This book is ideal for graduate students beginning research in optical quantum information processing. It presents the most important techniques of the field using worked examples and over 120 exercises.

He has been a visiting Fellow at the University of Queensland, Australia and is an academic visitor at the National University of Singapore.

Review :
'The discussion of cluster state protocols and conditional optical gates is the clearest I have seen. The text includes embedded exercises for the reader, carefully constructed to illustrate important principles. … The authors make every effort to connect the abstract theory with current experimental practice. … As optics will necessarily form a part of future quantum information processing networks, this book is required reading for anyone wishing to stay abreast of the ongoing effort to make quantum computing a reality.' Gerard J. Milburn, Centre for Quantum Computer Technology, the University of Queensland 'I have certainly enjoyed browsing through the book by Kok and Lovett. … I have no doubts that this first comprehensive and well written account of quantum information processing with optical systems will be very much welcomed and appreciated by students and experts alike. … an excellent overview of the basic insights and techniques … done in a manner that conveys the intellectual excitement and beauty of the subject.' Artur Ekert, Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford and National University of Singapore '… good selection of topics … content is well organised … The presentation of the book is perfect … It [is] hard not to notice the care the authors [have] given to the diagrams and plots, a rare quality of books these days.' Contemporary Physics
