DESCRIPTION:A number of new ways of manipulating information\, generically
  known as quantum information processing\,  have been postulated in the la
 st 15-20 years.  Several have been demonstrated experimentally\, but there
  remains a large gap between principle and practice\, particularly in quan
 tum computation.  The success of solid-state electronics and optoelectroni
 cs in classical information processing leads many to the conclusion that c
 ondensed matter systems will provide the best way of bridging this gap.\n\
 nI will describe some of our approaches to making solid-state structures f
 or quantum information processing\, including nanoscale silicon and III-V 
 semiconductor devices.  I will show recent experimental results\, and disc
 uss the various mechanisms which help and hinder the development of this f
 ield. There has been substantial progress in the last year\, and I will gi
 ve our view of the routes to making usable structures.\n
