Beyond their use as numerical tools, quantum trajectories can be ascribed a degree of
reality in terms of quantum measurement theory. In fact, they arise naturally from considering …

Unit-efficiency homodyne detection of the resonance fluorescence of a two-level atom
collapses the quantum state of the atom to a stochastically moving point on the Bloch …

Quantum state control of two‐level emitters is fundamental for many information processing,
metrology, and sensing applications. However, quantum‐coherent photonic control of solid …

We discuss a model of a cavity filled with a passive nonlinear ‚Kerr 'medium and periodically
kicked by a series of ultra-short laser pulses. The nonlinear medium is described by the (2 …

In this paper results are reported for the application of the quantum trajectory method to
analysing the dynamics of the micromaser. The master equation for the cavity field is derived …

An idea to synthesize Fock states for pulsed light beams is presented. It uses an array of
beam splitters with several input ports which are fed with single-photon Fock states …

We present an overview of the quantum theory of continuous measurements and discuss
some of its important applications in quantum optics. Quantum theory of continuous …

Open quantum systems continually lose information to their surroundings. In some cases
this information can be readily retrieved from the environment and put to good use by …

Motivated by developments and problems in a number of disciplines including Quantum
Chemistry, Information and Optics, the theory of Control of Quantum Systems has emerged …

We present the theory underlying a new experimental scheme for the preparation of
selected number states of a bimodal high-Q microcavity. The practical feasibility of this …
