SUMMARY:Input-Output Device Modelling for Quantum Information Systems - Ja

DESCRIPTION:Recent decades have seen significant progress in quantum infor
 mation and computation\, both at the abstract level of qubits as well as i
 n the laboratory\, where rudimentary proof of concept devices and small sc
 ale systems have been demonstrated. However\, while commercial QKD systems
  are becoming viable\, useful large scale quantum computers appear to be s
 ome distance away. The problem of scaling up to large interconnected quant
 um information processing systems remains a major challenge for quantum te
 chnology researchers.\n\nThis talk will discuss a number of aspects of mod
 elling that are relevant to this scale up issue\, with a particular emphas
 is on input-output models. We review pertinent features of hierarchical mo
 delling for classical information systems\, and discuss their implications
  for quantum information. The talk reports on some recent model developmen
 t for quantum memories and nonclassical sources.\n\n
