The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

We analyse several schemes for measuring the quantum state of a single light mode. These
schemes are useful for experimentalists to gain the maximum information about non …

We show that the Wigner function corresponding to an electromagnetic field in a cavity or a
vibronic state of a trapped ion can be directly measured by means of a simple experimental …

The theory of discrete Wigner functions and of discrete quantum-state tomography [U.
Leonhardt, Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 4101 (1995)] is studied in more detail guided by the picture …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the homodyne detection and quantum-state
reconstruction. The chapter reviews the experimental schemes that have been considered …

This book provides a throrough introduction to the interaction of atoms and atomic ions with
optical and magnetic fields. The author places particular emphasis on the wealth of …

We propose a general method for reconstructing directly the density matrix of a single light
mode in optical homodyne tomography. In our scheme the density matrix< a‖ ρ^‖ a′> is …

Edited by one of the scientists who developed what is still considered the key solution to the
quantum phase operator problem, this volume brings together important historic and modern …

We propose a scheme for the measurement of joint photon statistics and Wigner function of
the entangled field states between two separate cavities. The scheme utilizes the …
