The production of pairs of entangled photons simply by focusing a laser beam onto a crystal
with a nonlinear optical response was used to test quantum mechanics and to open new …

Instead of having to rely on gedanken (thought) experiments, it is possible to base this
discussion of the foundations of quantum physics on actually performed experiments …

Quantum metrology is one of the most promising applications of quantum technologies. The
aim of this research field is the estimation of unknown parameters exploiting quantum …

Subsystem readout during a quantum process, or mid-circuit measurement, is crucial for
error correction in quantum computation, simulation, and metrology. Ideal mid-circuit …

Abstract Information is central to quantum mechanics. In particular, quantum interference
occurs only if there exists no information to distinguish between the superposed states. The …

The superposition principle plays the most central role in all considerations of quantum
information, and in most of the" gedanken" experiments and even the paradoxes of quantum …

Provides fully updated coverage of new experiments in quantum optics This fully revised
and expanded edition of a well-established textbook on experiments on quantum optics …

This book is both apparently ambitious and modest in its aims. Ambitious, as it attempts to
achieve something that has been declared impossible by some of the greatest physicists …

Quantum superposition of high-dimensional states enables both computational speed-up
and security in cryptographic protocols. However, the exponential complexity of tomographic …

The quantum Zeno effect is recast in terms of an adiabatic theorem when the measurement
is described as the dynamical coupling to another quantum system that plays the role of …
