TL;DR: The teleportation of a quantum state between two single material particles (trapped ions) has now also been achieved and is demonstrated between objects of a different nature—light and matter, which respectively represent ‘flying’ and ‘stationary’ media.

TL;DR: An order parameter for symmetry-protected phases in one dimension which allows us to directly identify those phases and it is found that the order parameter not only works very well for the dimerized and the Haldane phase, but it also returns a distinct signature for gapless phases.

TL;DR: It is shown that a quantum interference effect in optical absorption from two electronic spin states of a solid-state emitter can be used to prepare the surrounding environment of nuclear spins in well-defined states, thereby suppressing electronic spin dephasing.

TL;DR: This second issue of QIC includes invited review papers on the current status of achieving entanglement in experiments and a regular paper on quantum key distribution and a review by David DiVincenzo of the book "Quantum Computation and Quantum Information" written by Michael Nielsen and Ike Chuang.
