Modern quantum measurement for graduate students and researchers in quantum information, quantum metrology, quantum control and related fields.

A novel, physics-first approach to quantum measurement, using physical experiments to describe the underlying mathematical formalism.

Perhaps quantum mechanics is viewed as the most remarkable development in 20th century physics. Each successful theory is exclusively concerned about "results of measurement". Quantum mechanics point of view is completely different from classical physics in measurement, because in microscopic world of quantum mechanics, a direct measurement as classical form is impossible. Therefore, over the years of developments of quantum mechanics, always challenging part of quantum mechanics lies in measurements. This book has been written by an international invited group of authors and it is created to clarify different interpretation about measurement in quantum mechanics.

The goal throughout this book is to present a series of topics in quantum mechanics and quantum computing. Topics include angular momentum, the hydrogen atom, quantum entanglement, Deutsch's algorithm, Grover's algorithm, Shor's algorithm, and quantum teleportation. There are nine chapters. Chapter one is a review of complex numbers, vectors, and matrices. Chapter two is a review of vector rotations and reflections. Chapter three introduces the postulates of quantum mechanics, state vectors, and the density operator. Chapters four and five introduce angular momentum. Chapter six discusses the hydrogen atom. Chapters seven and eight introduce the fundamental unit of quantum information, the qubit, and present a series of quantum computing topics. Chapter nine discusses polarization states and optical elements, including polarizers and beam splitters. Five appendices are provided which include a quick review of Fourier transforms and Boolean algebra. Extensive use is made of examples and diagrams. The answers to all of the end-of-chapter problems are available in the solutions manual.

The introduction of control theory in quantum mechanics has created a rich, new interdisciplinary scientific field, which is producing novel insight into important theoretical questions at the heart of quantum physics. Exploring this emerging subject, Introduction to Quantum Control and Dynamics presents the mathematical concepts and fundamental ph

Publishes theoretical and applied original papers in dynamic systems. Theoretical papers present new theoretical developments and knowledge for controls of dynamical systems together with clear engineering motivation for the new theory. Applied papers include modeling, simulation, and corroboration of theory with emphasis on demonstrated practicality.

Control of Distributed Parameter Systems 1982 covers the proceeding of the Third International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) Symposium on Control of Distributed Parameter Systems. The book reviews papers that tackle issues concerning the control of distributed parameter systems, such as modeling, identification, estimation, stabilization, optimization, and energy system. The topics that the book tackles include notes on optimal and estimation result of nonlinear systems; approximation of the parameter identification problem in distributed parameters systems; and optimal control of a punctually located heat source. This text also encompasses the stabilization of nonlinear parabolic equations and the decoupling approach to the control of large spaceborne antenna systems. Stability of Hilbert space contraction semigroups and the tracking problem in the fractional representation approach are also discussed. This book will be of great interest to researchers and professionals whose work concerns automated control systems.
