Superconducting Devices in Quantum Optics（Hardcover）

This book presents the basics and applications of superconducting devices in quantum optics. Over the past decade, superconducting devices have risen to prominence in the arena of quantum optics and quantum information processing. Superconducting detectors provide unparalleled performance for the detection of infrared photons in quantum cryptography, enable fundamental advances in quantum optics, and provide a direct route to on-chip optical quantum information processing. Superconducting circuits based on Josephson junctions provide a blueprint for scalable quantum information processing as well as opening up a new regime for quantum optics at microwave wavelengths. With recent advances in coherent conversion between telecom and microwave frequencies, it is possible to envisage the marriage of these approaches, as superconducting qubits are embedded in long distance fiber optic communications networks. This volume, edited by two leading researchers, provides a timely compilation of contributions from top groups worldwide across this dynamic field, anticipating future advances in this domain.

本書介紹了超導器件在量子光學中的基礎和應用。在過去的十年中，超導器件在量子光學和量子信息處理領域嶄露頭角。超導探測器在量子密碼學中檢測紅外光子方面提供了無與倫比的性能，促進了量子光學的基礎進展，並為片上光學量子信息處理提供了直接途徑。基於約瑟夫森接點的超導電路為可擴展的量子信息處理提供了藍圖，同時開啟了微波波長下量子光學的新領域。隨著在電信和微波頻率之間的相干轉換的最新進展，可以想像將這些方法結合起來，將超導量子位嵌入到長距離光纖通信網絡中。本書由兩位領先的研究人員編輯，提供了來自全球頂尖團隊在這一充滿活力的領域的貢獻的及時彙編，預期未來在這一領域的進一步發展。
