Quantum Computer, how to actually build one?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the practical aspects of building a quantum computer, highlighting the need for literature that addresses the physical engineering challenges involved. A specific resource mentioned is the book "Fundamentals of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information" by Peter Lambropoulos and David Petrosyan, which contains relevant information. The participant expresses frustration over the relocation of the post to a general physics forum, indicating a desire for focused discourse on applied quantum computing.

So last year I took a course in quantum computing, but I didn't understand how can you build quantum computer?

I mean do you have literature on the technical issues of physically engineering such an apparatus?

The course I took was really theoretical, but I don't understand yet of how to build such a thing?

Any literature on applied quantum computing?

Thanks in advance.

The last chapter of the book "Fundamentals of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information" by Peter Lambropoulos and David Petrosyan has information about this.
 
Thanks, I don't understand why did this post was moved to general physics forum, but I don't complain anymore... :-)
