Most previous texts on quantum optics have been written primarily for the graduate student
market at PhD level and above. Quantum optics: an introduction aims to introduce a wide …

Using spin to replace or augment the role of charge in signal processing devices, computing
systems and circuits may improve speed, power consumption, and device density in some …

A survey was developed to probe student understanding of quantum mechanics at the
beginning of graduate instruction. The survey was administered to 202 physics graduate …

Given a quantum dynamical semigroup expressed as an exponential superoperator acting
on a space of N-dimensional density operators, eigenvalue methods are presented by which …

Richard Feynman once famously stated that nobody understands quantum mechanics. He
was, of course, referring to the many strange, unintuitive foundational aspects of quantum …

We present a robust method for quantum process tomography, which yields a set of
Lindblad operators that optimally fit the density operators measured at a sequence of time …

The nature of a quantum computer is described in the concrete context of a quantum
simulator of the single-particle Schrödinger equation. We show that a register of 6–10 qubits …

We apply optimal control theory (OCT) to the design of refocusing pulses suitable for the
CPMG sequence that are robust over a wide range of B0 and B1 offsets. We also introduce a …

We propose an approach to reconstruct any superconducting charge qubit state by using
quantum state tomography. This procedure requires a series of measurements on a large …

The convex set of density operators of an N-level quantum mechanical system foliated as a
complex flag manifold, where each leaf is identified with the adjoint unitary orbit of the …
