BOOK EXCERPT:

The second edition of Quantum Optics for Engineers: Quantum Entanglement is an updated and extended version of its first edition. New features include a transparent interferometric derivation of the physics for quantum entanglement devoid of mysteries and paradoxes. It also provides a utilitarian matrix version of quantum entanglement apt for engineering applications. Features: Introduces quantum entanglement via the Dirac–Feynman interferometric principle, free of paradoxes. Provides a practical matrix version of quantum entanglement which is highly utilitarian and useful for engineers. Focuses on the physics relevant to quantum entanglement and is coherently and consistently presented via Dirac’s notation. Illustrates the interferometric quantum origin of fundamental optical principles such as diffraction, refraction, and reflection. Emphasizes mathematical transparency and extends on a pragmatic interpretation of quantum mechanics. This book is written for advanced physics and engineering students, practicing engineers, and scientists seeking a workable-practical introduction to quantum optics and quantum entanglement.

Quantum Engineering With Quantum Optics

BOOK EXCERPT:

Despite initial set backs in the 1980s, the prospect for large scale integration of optical devices with high spatial-density and low energy consumption for information applications has grown steadily in the past decade. At the same time these advances have been made towards classical information processing with integrated optics, largely in an engineering context, a broad physics community has been pursuing quantum information processing platforms, with a heavy emphasis on optics-based networks. But despite these similarities, the two communities have exchanged models and techniques to a very limited degree. The aim of this thesis is to provide examples of the advantages of an engineering perspective to quantum information systems and quantum models to systems of interest in optical engineering, in both theory and experiment. I present various observations of ultra-low energy optical switching in a cavity quantum electrodynamical (cQED) system containing a single emitter. Although such devices are of interest to the engineering community, the dominant, classical optical models used in the field are incompatible with several photon, ultra-low energy devices like these that evince a discrete Hilbert space and are perturbed by quantum fluctuations. And in complement to this, I also propose a nanophotonic/cQED approach to building a self-correcting quantum memory, simply "powered" by cw laser beams and motivated by the conviction that for quantum engineering to be a viable paradigm, quantum devices will have to control themselves. Intuitive in its operation, this network represents a coherent feedback network in which error correction occurs entirely "on-chip, " without measurement, and is modeled using a flexible formalism that suggests a quantum generalization of electrical circuit theory.

Quantum Optics And Fundamentals Of Physics

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

In last years increasing attention has been again devoted to interpretations of quantum theory. In the same time interesting quantum optical experiments have been performed using nonlinear optical processes, in particular frequency down conversion, which provided new information about nature of a photon on the basis of interference and correlation (coincidence) phenomena. Such single-photon and twin-photon effects of quantum optics provide new point of view of interpretations of quantum theory and new tests of its principles. The purpose of this book is to discuss these questions. To follow this goal we give brief reviews of principles of quantum theory and of quantum theory of measurement. As a fundamental theoretical tool the coherent state technique is adopted based on a general algebraic treatment, including the de scription of interaction of radiation and matter. Typical quantum behaviour of physical systems is exhibited by nonclassical optical phenomena, which can be examined using photon interferences and correlations. These phenomena are closely related to violation of various classical inequalities and Bell's in equalities. The most important part of this book discusses quantum optical experiments supporting quantum theory. This book may be considered as a continuation of previous monographs by one of the authors on Coherence of Light (Van Nostrand Reinhold, London 1972, second edition D. Reidel, Dordrecht 1985) and on Quantum Statistics of Linear and Nonlinear Optical Phenomena (D. Reidel, Dordrecht 1984, second edition Kluwer, Dordrecht 1991), which may serve as a preparation for reading this book.
