Methods for, and limitations to, the generation of entangled states of trapped atomic ions are
examined. As much as possible, state manipulations are described in terms of quantum …

This is the third, revised and extended edition of the acknowledged" Lectures on Quantum
Optics" by W. Vogel and D.-G. Welsch. It offers theoretical concepts of quantum optics, with …

We describe how a quantum system composed of a cavity field interacting with a movable
mirror can be utilized to generate a large variety of nonclassical states of both the cavity field …

We show that the Wigner function corresponding to an electromagnetic field in a cavity or a
vibronic state of a trapped ion can be directly measured by means of a simple experimental …

Nonclassical states of light are of fundamental importance in quantum optics. The properties
of these states are due to the quantal nature of the electromagnetic field. In recent years …

We discuss different ways of generating entanglement in the original picture of circuit QED
(XcQED) and several restrictions that arise in the context of a large-scale quantum …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the homodyne detection and quantum-state
reconstruction. The chapter reviews the experimental schemes that have been considered …

A feasible device for measurement of fidelity, overlap, purity, and Hilbert-Schmidt distance of
two mixed states is proposed. In addition, this device realizes a decomposable …

A single 137 Ba+ ion has been laser cooled to the first few vibrational states of an 8 0− μ m
radius rf quadrupole trap. Initial measurements showed no anomalous heating of the …
