The author presents a tutorial review of some ideas that are basic to our current
understanding of the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in the dilute atomic …

The control of individual quantum systems is now a reality in a variety of physical settings.
Feedback control is an important class of control methods because of its ability to reduce the …

Bosonic rotation codes, introduced here, are a broad class of bosonic error-correcting codes
based on phase-space rotation symmetry. We present a universal quantum computing …

We show that the uncertainty in the relative quantum phase of two fields propagating in the
arms of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer can be reduced to the Heisenberg limit by driving …

Seventy five years ago, three remarkable papers by Schrödinger, Kennard and Darwin were
published. They were devoted to the evolution of Gaussian wave packets for an oscillator, a …

The quantum interference of de Broglie matter waves is probably one of the most startling
and fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics. It continues to tax our imaginations and …

The usual mathematical model of the single-mode electromagnetic field is the harmonic
oscillator with an infinite-dimensional state space, which unfortunately cannot accommodate …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the photon wave function, and explains the basic
properties of a well-defined mathematical object—a six-component function of space-time …

The author reviews methods for generating sub-Poissonian light and related concepts. This
light has energy fluctuations reduced below the level which corresponds to a classical …

We present a review of theoretical and experimental aspects of multiphoton quantum optics.
Multiphoton processes occur and are important for many aspects of matter–radiation …
