  • Summary

    Experimental chapter that presents experimental devices that allow us to detect individual quantum systems and observe quantum jumps occurring at random times. Described: superconducting single photon detectors, detection of arrays of ions and atoms, the shelving technique that allows us to measure the quantum state of the single atom, state selective field ionization of single Rydberg atoms, detection of single molecules on a surface by confocal microscopy, articial atoms in circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED)

  • This accessible and self-contained text presents the essential theoretical techniques developed to describe quantum processes, alongside a detailed review of the devices and experimental methods required in quantum measurement. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students seeking to extend their knowledge of the physics underlying quantum technologies, the book develops a thorough understanding of quantum measurement theory, quantum processes and the evolution of quantum states. A wide range of basic quantum systems are discussed, including atoms, ions, photons, and more complex macroscopic quantum devices such as opto-mechanical systems and superconducting circuits. Quantum phenomena are also covered in detail, from entanglement and quantum jumps, to quantum fluctuations in optical systems. Numerous problems at the end of each chapter problems enable the reader to consolidate key theoretical concepts and to develop their understanding of the most widely-used experimental techniques.
