Dissipation, the irreversible loss of energy and coherence, from a microsystem is the result
of coupling to a much larger macrosystem (or reservoir) that is so large that one has no …

Space-time wave packets (STWPs) constitute a broad class of pulsed optical fields that are
rigidly transported in linear media without diffraction or dispersion, and are therefore …

Quantum information theory is a branch of science at the frontier of physics, mathematics,
and information science, and offers a variety of solutions that are impossible using classical …

We present a classical protocol to efficiently simulate any pure-state quantum computation
that involves only a restricted amount of entanglement. More generally, we show how to …

Complex optical photon states with entanglement shared among several modes are critical
to improving our fundamental understanding of quantum mechanics and have applications …

We present a numerical method to simulate the time evolution, according to a generic
Hamiltonian made of local interactions, of quantum spin chains and systems alike. The …

Elements of Quantum Optics gives a self-contained and broad coverage of the basic
elements necessary to understand and carry out research in laser physics and quantum …

We review the properties of reduced density matrices for free fermionic or bosonic many-
particle systems in their ground state. Their basic feature is that they have a thermal form …

This Colloquium examines the field of the Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) gedanken
experiment, from the original paper of Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen, through to modern …

The ability to generate complex optical photon states involving entanglement between
multiple optical modes is not only critical to advancing our understanding of quantum …
