Abstract
Quantum computers will utilize nonclassical logic operations to perfor m numerical calculations that are not feasible on conventional compute rs. The enhanced capabilities of quantum computers result partly from their expected ability to perform many different calculations simultan eously on a single processor. The Applied Physics Laboratory is develo ping an optical approach to quantum computing.
