Combining new ideas of the nature and versatility of quantum mechanics with extraordinary advances in the capacities of nanodevices, superconductors, atomic trapping and integrated photonics, the area of quantum information and quantum control is now one of the most exciting areas of research in the physical and mathematical sciences. The field exploits recent insights about the nature of quantum mechanics to offer paradigm-altering models for computation and communications; it opens up an entirely new area in the theory of computational complexity, as new complexity classes describe the power of a hypothetical quantum computer;
