Data storage and -transmission
- from classical physics to quantum physics

Lecture WS 2007/2008

Sergej Demokritov, Carsten Fallnich

Do. 9.15 - 10.45, SR AP (Room 222)

In today´s communication technology transmission rates of 100 MBit/sec and storage densities of about one terabyte per hard disc are normal. Because of video-on-demand and similar bandwidth future services the demands on transmission technology and storage for dates will rise furthermore. Therefore, new possibilities for safe and fast data transmission are quested while e.g. the inner degrees of freedom of quantum optical state-on systems should be used instead of the normal binary coding. The practical storage of data is probably effected furthermore with electronic, electro-optical or magnetic methods at which the borders of classical physics with single-electronic storages will be passed, too. Keywords of the lecture: quantum information, one-photon-resources, quantum cryptography, squeezing, semiconductor storage, optical and magnetic storage, single-electron storage.
