The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been for 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 weird 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.
