Decoherence and Quantum-state Measurement in Quantum Optics
This paper discusses work developed in recent years, in the domain of quantum optics, which has led to a better understanding of the classical limit of quantum mechanics. New techniques have been proposed, and experimentally demonstrated, for characterizing and monitoring in real time the quantum state of an electromagnetic field in a cavity. They allow the investigation of the dynamics of the ...
متن کاملRetrodictive Quantum State Engineering
This thesis is concerned with retrodiction and measurement in quantum optics. The latter of these two concepts is studied in particular form with a general optical multiport device, consisting of an arbitrary array of beam-splitters and phase-shifters. I show how such an apparatus generalizes the original projection synthesis technique, introduced as an in principle technique to measure the can...
متن کاملQuantum State Reconstruction Using Atom Optics
The development of methods for completely determining the quantum state of an atom or cavity field @1# continues to be an important issue in atomic physics. For example, in the field of quantum optics, schemes have been recently proposed, based on the Stem-Gerlach effect, for completely determining the quantum state of an atom as a way of fully characterizing the quantized electromagnetic field...
متن کاملEngineering multiphoton states for linear optics computation
Transformations achievable by linear optical components allow to generate the whole unitary group only when restricted to the one-photon subspace of a multimode Fock space. In this paper, we address the more general problem of encoding quantum information by multiphoton states, and elaborating it via ancillary extensions, linear optical passive devices and photodetection. Our scheme stems in a ...
متن کاملRetrodictive quantum optical state engineering
Although it has been known for some time that quantum mechanics can be formulated in a way that treats prediction and retrodiction on an equal footing, most attention in engineering quantum states has been devoted to predictive states, that is, states associated with a preparation event. Retrodictive states, which are associated with a measurement event and propagate backwards in time, are also...
