<div><br></div>
<blockquote>Liquid-state NMR was the first technique that successfully
demonstrated the potential of quantum information processing, and it
still represents the most powerful implementation of a quantum
computer. However, no viable solutions have been found for increasing
the number of qubits in these systems into a range where the resulting
processors are more powerful than conventional electronic computers.
For this purpose, solid-state systems may have some advantages. Using
a solid-state NMR system, we study the scaling of decoherence rates
with the system size and discuss the basics of a (potentially)
scalable system architecture.</blockquote>
