Quantum Information and Condensed Matter Physics with Quantum Optical Systems Peter Zoller, University of Innsbruck, and Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Science, Innsbruck, Austria

We give a tour from basic concepts to implementation of quantum computing and quantum simulation with quantum optical systems including cold atoms and molecules. Furthermore, we provide an outlook to possible future developments such as hybrid systems and interfaces involving solid state and atomic elements.
