The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been long
illustrated by thought experiments, from Einstein's photon box to
Schroedinger's cat. These experiments have now become real, with
single particles - electrons, atoms, or photons - directly
unveiling the strange features of the quantum. State
superpositions, entanglement and complementarity define a novel
quantum logic which can be harnessed for information processing,
raising great hopes for applications. This book describes a class
of such thought experiments made real. Juggling with atoms and
photons confined in cavities, ions or cold atoms in traps, is here
an incentive to shed a new light on the basic concepts of quantum
physics. Measurement processes and decoherence at the
quantum-classical boundary are highlighted. This volume, which
combines theory and experiments, will be of interest to students in
quantum physics, teachers seeking illustrations for their lectures
and new problem sets, researchers in quantum optics and quantum
information.
