The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

Markovian approximation is a widely-employed idea in descriptions of the dynamics of open
quantum systems (OQSs). Although it is usually claimed to be a concept inspired by …

Continuously measured quantum systems are characterized by an output current, in the form
of a stochastic and correlated time series, which conveys crucial information about the …

The control of individual quantum systems promises a new technology for the 21st century-
quantum technology. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of modern quantum …

This volume contains ten lectures presented in the series ULB Lectures in Nonlinear Optics
at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles during the period October 28 to November 4, 1991. A …

As a graduate student working in quantum optics I encountered the question that might be
taken as the theme of this book. The question definitely arose at that time though it was not …

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 present a wave-function approach to the study of the evolution of a small system when it
is coupled to a large reservoir. Fluctuations and dissipation originate in this approach from …

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 …

The quantum Zero effect is the inhibition of transitions between quantum states by frequent
measurements of the state. The inhibition arises because the measurement causes a …
