Abstract
Quantum networks for the processing and distribution of quantum information could consist of quantum "nodes" for the manipulation and storage of quantum information, with these nodes linked by quantum "channels" for the transmission of quantum states. The leading proposal for the realization of such networks utilizes atoms within optical cavities as the "nodes." Conversion of internal atomic state information into optical photons that propagate from one cavity to another forms the basis for the "channels." Unfortunately, even in terms of laboratory "proof-of-principle" demonstrations, technical capabilities are far short of those required to implement such quantum networks. However, along the road to these ends, there lies a rich set of scientific problems that are the subject of this paper, including nonlinear optics with single atoms and photons, trapping of individual atoms within high finesse optical cavities, and teleportation of quantum states.
