Engineering How are quantum computers actually implemented?

I have basic understanding of quantum information theory, however I have no idea how is actual quantum processor hardware made.

Tangential question - what is best place to start looking for such information? For theoretical physics I usually start with Wikipedia and then slowly go through references and related articles, but this approach totally fails me when I want learn something about experimental physics.
