Abstract
In this chapter, certain experimental realizations of quantum information schemes are briefly discussed. Some nanosystems used for experimental implementation of quantum computation such as quantum dots, ion traps, and nuclear magnetic resonance are considered. Parametric down-conversion for producing entangled photons is described. Full exposition of recent experimental works is beyond the scope of this book, so we will discuss only some fundamental topics.
