(English) Zbl 0985.81022 Pavelka, Jan (ed.) et al., SOFSEM ’99: Theory and practice of informatics. 26th conference on current trends in theory and practice of informatics. Milovy, Czech Republic, November 27-December 4, 1999. Proceedings. Berlin: Springer. Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 1725, 1-28 (1999). Summary: Quantum information processing research has brought deep insights into the quantum potentials of nature for computing, revealed new information processing primitives, principles, concepts, methods and also brought some spectacular results. On the other side, the problems connected with the design of powerful quantum processors are still seen as immense.The aim of the talk is to present and to analyze the current situation in quantum information processing and, especially, to point out main quantum challenges that need to be attacked in order to make a further progress in this fascinating and promising area.For the entire collection see [Zbl 0931.00042].
