This chapter is intended as an introduction to the theory of solid‐state quantum information processing. We do not aspire to offer a comprehensive review of all proposed solid‐state schemes for quantum computing, as there are far too many to be covered here (see, e.g, (1) for a review). We will highlight some general concepts that have relevance for most proposals and only discuss the physics of two types of solid‐state qubit systems ...
