DESCRIPTION:
Juggling with atoms and photons confined in cavities, ions or cold atoms in traps, is here an incentive to shed a new light on the basic concepts of quantum physics. State superpositions, entanglement and complementarity define a novel quantum logic which can be harnessed for information processing, raising great hopes for applications. The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been for long illustrated by thought experiments, from Einstein's photon box to Schródinger's cat. This book describes a class of such thought experiments made real. This volume, which combines theory and experiments, will be of interest to students in quantum physics, teachers seeking illustrations for their lectures and new problem sets, researchers in quantum optics and quantum info
Experiment and Theory Masterfully Intertwined G. A. Schoenagel Before commencing with this text, avail oneself of the (freely available) Nobel Prize winning (2012) Lecture by Serge Haroche.After perusal of that lecture you will find it impossible to ignore this publication. Indeed, this text is a goldmine of thought.A masterful combination of wit, insight, experiment, theory. No student, . Five Stars Written by a master enough said
