This book offers an introduction to ten key topics in quantum
information science and quantum coherent phenomena, aimed at
graduate-student level. The chapters cover some of the most recent
developments in this dynamic research field where theoretical and
experimental physics, combined with computer science, provide a
fascinating arena for groundbreaking new concepts in information
processing.
The book addresses both the theoretical and experimental aspects
of the subject, and clearly demonstrates how progress in
experimental techniques has stimulated a great deal of theoretical
effort and vice versa. Experiments are shifting from simply
preparing and measuring quantum states to controlling and
manipulating them, and the book outlines how the first real
applications, notably quantum key distribution for secure
communication, are starting to emerge. The chapters cover quantum
retrodiction, ultracold quantum gases in optical lattices,
optomechanics, quantum algorithms, quantum key distribution,
quantum control based on measurement, orbital angular momentum of
light, entanglement theory, trapped ions and quantum metrology, and
open quantum systems subject to decoherence.
The contributing authors have been chosen not just on the basis
of their scientific expertise, but also because of their ability to
offer pedagogical and well-written contributions which will be of
interest to students and established researchers.
