Quantum Information Processing with Trapped Ions

Trapped ions have been a very important resource for the experimental study of quantum information and are a promising technology for the construction of a quantum computer. In this talk, we focus on the description of the physical implementation of quantum computing using cold trapped ions, give concrete examples of the used gates, discuss their limitations and present current trends to improve on decoherence and scalability.
