Systems of trapped cold ions and neutral atoms are invaluable experimental tools for the study and demonstration of elementary quantum information processing tasks. The distinguishing features are that we have (i) a detailed microscopic understanding of the Hamiltonian of the systems realized in the laboratory, and (ii) complete control of the system parameters via external fields. Atoms have many internal states that ...
