商品描述
Quantum Continuous Variables introduces the theory of continuous variable quantum systems, from its foundations based on the framework of Gaussian states to modern developments, including its applications to quantum information and forthcoming quantum technologies. This book addresses the theory of Gaussian states, operations, and dynamics in great depth and breadth, through a novel approach that embraces both the Hilbert space and phase descriptions.
The second edition of this book has been revised throughout, and updated to include new topics, such as boson sampling, coherent feedback, nonlinear control, as well as several new solved problems.
The volume includes coverage of entanglement theory and quantum information protocols, and their connection with relevant experimental set-ups. General techniques for non-Gaussian manipulations also emerge as the treatment unfolds and are demonstrated with specific case studies.
This book will be of interest to graduate students looking to familiarise themselves with the field, in addition to experienced researchers eager to enhance their understanding of its theoretical methods. It will also appeal to experimentalists searching for a rigorous but accessible treatment of the theory in the area.
Features
- Provides the first systematic graduate-level textbook for the field of quantum continuous variables and includes 77 problems for the reader, with accompanying solutions
- Explores applications to entanglement theory, nonlocality, quantum technologies and quantum control
- Describes, in detail, a comprehensive list of experimental platforms where the formalism applies
Alessio Serafini earned his PhD from the University of Salerno. He is currently a Professor at University College London. His research focuses mainly on quantum optics, quantum information with continuous variables, and the theory of quantum control.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《量子連續變數》介紹了連續變數量子系統的理論，從基於高斯態框架的基礎到現代發展，包括其在量子資訊和即將到來的量子技術中的應用。本書深入且廣泛地探討了高斯態、操作和動力學的理論，採用一種新穎的方法，結合了希爾伯特空間和相位描述。
本書的第二版已全面修訂，並更新了新主題，如玻色取樣、相干反饋、非線性控制，以及幾個新的解題問題。
本書涵蓋了糾纏理論和量子資訊協議，並探討了它們與相關實驗設置的聯繫。隨著內容的展開，非高斯操作的一般技術也逐漸浮現，並通過具體案例研究進行演示。
本書將吸引希望熟悉該領域的研究生，以及渴望加深對其理論方法理解的經驗豐富的研究人員。它也將吸引尋求該領域理論的嚴謹但易於理解的處理方式的實驗工作者。
特色
- 提供該領域量子連續變數的第一本系統性研究生級教科書，並包含77個問題及其解答供讀者參考。
- 探索在糾纏理論、非局域性、量子技術和量子控制方面的應用。
- 詳細描述一個全面的實驗平台清單，該形式適用於這些平台。
