Quantum-mechanical effects at the macroscopic level were first explored in Josephson-
junction-based superconducting circuits in the 1980s. In recent decades, the emergence of …

All our former experience with application of quantum theory seems to say that what is
predicted by quantum formalism must occur in the laboratory. But the essence of quantum …

This paper presents the results of a functional-integral approach to the dynamics of a two-
state system coupled to a dissipative environment. It is primarily an extended account of …

Entropy production is a key quantity in any finite-time thermodynamic process. It is intimately
tied with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, embodying a tool to extend …

The manner in which states of some quantum systems become effectively classical is of
great significance for the foundations of quantum physics, as well as for problems of …

Two classically identical expressions for the mutual information generally differ when the
systems involved are quantum. This difference defines the quantum discord. It can be used …

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 …

After they have interacted, quantum particles generally behave as a single nonseparable
entangled system. The concept of entanglement plays an essential role in quantum physics …

Quantum information processing relies on the precise control of non-classical states in the
presence of many uncontrolled environmental degrees of freedom. The interactions …

Quantum mechanics works exceedingly well in all practical applications. No example of
conflict between its predictions and experiment is known. Without quantum physics we could …
