Coherence and synchronization in complex quantum networks
Nov. 28, 2018
The transport and storage of quantum
information both within and across complex quantum networks is crucially affected
by the presence of environment-induced noise. Interaction with the environment
deteriorates the quantum properties initially present and this is important
both for the ...
