A review on quantum information processing in cavities

The processing of information and computation is undergoing a paradigmatic shift since the realization of the enormous potential of quantum features to perform these tasks. Coupled cavity array is one of the well-studied systems to carry out these tasks. It is a versatile platform for quantum networks for distributed information processing and communication. Cavities have the salient feature of retaining photons for longer durations, thereby enabling them to travel coherently through the array without losing them in dissipation. Many quantum information protocols have been implemented in arrays of coupled cavities. These advancements promise the suitability of cavity arrays for large-scale quantum communications and computations. This article reviews a few theoretical proposals and experimental realizations of quantum information tasks in cavities.
