Description
Quantum measurement and control is a field of research that is essential for realizing quantum technology. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject, and it covers key experiments and technologies from the past few years. The book is divided into four parts, and each part covers a different type of quantum measurement. Part I covers cavity QED, quantum optics, and mesoscopic electronics. Part II covers quantum entanglement and quantum state tomography. Part III covers quantum error correction and quantum teleportation. Part IV covers applications of quantum measurement and control. The book includes nearly 300 exercises that help readers build understanding and prepare them for research in this exciting area.
The control of individual quantum systems promises a new technology for the 21st century - quantum technology. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of modern quantum measurement and measurement-based quantum control, which are vital elements for realizing quantum technology. Readers are introduced to key experiments and technologies through dozens of recent experiments in cavity QED, quantum optics, mesoscopic electronics, and trapped particles several of which are analyzed in detail. Nearly 300 exercises help build understanding, and prepare readers for research in these exciting areas. This important book will interest graduate students and researchers in quantum information, quantum metrology, quantum control and related fields. Novel topics covered include adaptive measurement; realistic detector models; mesoscopic current detection; Markovian, state-based and optimal feedback; and applications to quantum information processing.
