The processing of information and computation is undergoing a paradigmatic shift since the
realization of the enormous potential of quantum features to perform these tasks. Coupled …

Although the crystal structures of the copper oxide high-temperature superconductors are
complex and diverse, they all contain some crystal planes consisting of only copper and …

Recent developments in quantum optics have led to new proposals to generate number
states of the electromagnetic field using conditioned measurement techniques or the …

The quantum mechanical description of a radiation field is based on states that are
characterized by the number of photons in a particular mode; the most basic quantum states …

The on-demand preparation of higher-order Fock states is of fundamental importance in
quantum information sciences. We propose and compare different protocols to generate …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the quantum interference, superposition states
of light and the nonclassical effects. The superposition principle is at the heart of quantum …

We consider a lossless micromaser in which a monoenergetic, low-density beam of two-
level atoms in a coherent superposition of their upper and lower states is injected inside a …

The term N-photon bundles has been coined for a specific type of photon emission, where
light quanta are released from a cavity only in groups of N particles. This emission leaves a …

State preparation via postselected weak measurements in a three-wave mixing process is
studied. We assume the signal input mode is prepared in a vacuum state, coherent state, or …

An exact density matrix of a phase-damped Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM) with entangled
Bell-like initial states formed from a model two-state atom and sets of adjacent photon …
