The generation, measurement, and manipulation of light at the single-and few-photon levels
underpin a rapidly expanding range of applications. These range from applications moving …

Quantum computers are unnecessary for exponentially efficient computation or simulation if
the Extended Church-Turing thesis is correct. The thesis would be strongly contradicted by …

An algorithm for quantum-state estimation based on the maximum-likelihood estimation is
proposed. Existing techniques for state reconstruction based on the inversion of measured …

We describe how a quantum system composed of a cavity field interacting with a movable
mirror can be utilized to generate a large variety of nonclassical states of both the cavity field …

A scheme for generating Schrödinger-cat-like states of a single-mode optical field by means
of conditional measurement is proposed. Feeding a squeezed vacuum into a beam splitter …

Photon-number-resolving detectors are needed for a variety of applications including linear-
optics quantum computing. Here we describe the use of time-multiplexing techniques that …

Covering some of the most exciting trends in quantum optics-quantum entanglement,
teleportation, and levitation-this textbook is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate …

We experimentally demonstrate quantum enhanced resolution in confocal fluorescence
microscopy exploiting the nonclassical photon statistics of single nitrogen-vacancy color …

Detectors that can resolve photon number are needed in many quantum information
technologies. In order to be useful in quantum information processing, such detectors should …

Deterministic generation of single photons is essential for many quantum information
technologies. A bulk optical nonlinearity emitting a photon pair, where the measurement of …
