Quantum decoherence plays a pivotal role in the dynamical description of the quantum-to-
classical transition and is the main impediment to the realization of devices for quantum …

Quantum coherence and quantum correlations are of fundamental and practical significance
for the development of quantum mechanics. They are also cornerstones of quantum …

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle forms a fundamental element of quantum mechanics.
Uncertainty relations in terms of entropies were initially proposed to deal with conceptual …

A consequence of the quantum mechanical uncertainty principle is that one may not discuss
the path or “trajectory” that a quantum particle takes, because any measurement of position …

The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been for long illustrated by thought
experiments, from Einstein's photon box to Schrödinger's cat. These experiments have now …

Interference with atomic and molecular matter waves is a rich branch of atomic physics and
quantum optics. It started with atom diffraction from crystal surfaces and the separated …

Mutually unbiased bases for quantum degrees of freedom are central to all theoretical
investigations and practical exploitations of complementary properties. Much is known about …

We review concepts and methods associated with quantum discord and related topics. We
also describe their possible connections with other aspects of quantum information and …

Provides fully updated coverage of new experiments in quantum optics This fully revised
and expanded edition of a well-established textbook on experiments on quantum optics …

Ultrathin crystalline films offer the possibility of exploring phase transitions in the crossover
region between two and three dimensions. Second-order ferromagnetic phase transitions …
