Abstract
In this closing chapter of the book, we dwell upon various schemes for the physical implementation of quantum computation. We begin with an outline of the necessary requirements on physical systems for implementing quantum information processing. We then describe a simple model system in which basic quantum gates between Rydberg atoms and microwave cavity field are realized. The sections that follow deal with several representative schemes for scalable quantum computation with trapped ions, atoms, photons and electrons. Some of the systems are only in the proposal stage, while for others significant experimental progress, although on a small scale, has recently been achieved.
