The study of open quantum systems–microscopic systems exhibiting quantum coherence
that are coupled to their environment–has become increasingly important in the past years …

Quantum thermodynamics addresses the emergence of thermodynamic laws from quantum
mechanics. The viewpoint advocated is based on the intimate connection of quantum …

Controlling a quantum system by using observations of its dynamics is complicated by the
backaction of the measurement process—that is, the unavoidable quantum disturbance …

Dynamical backaction resulting from radiation pressure forces in optomechanical systems
has proven to be a versatile tool for manipulating mechanical vibrations. Notably, dynamical …

Present protocols of criticality-enhanced sensing with open quantum sensors assume direct
measurement of the sensor and omit the radiation quanta emitted to the environment …

Quantum thermodynamics supplies a consistent description of quantum heat engines and
refrigerators up to a single few-level system coupled to the environment. Once 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 …

Quantum control is concerned with active manipulation of physical and chemical processes
on the atomic and molecular scale. This work presents a perspective of progress in the field …

In real-time quantum feedback protocols,, the record of a continuous measurement is used
to stabilize a desired quantum state. Recent years have seen successful applications of …

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 …
