Arising from a series of laboratory class experiments developed by the
authors, this book provides an overview of fundamental experiments
that can be used to practically demonstrate the underlying principles
of quantum physics and quantum information science. Designed with
multiple readerships in mind, it will be essential for the professor
who would like to recreate a similar suite of experiments for their
students as well as students of physics, who would like to learn how
such experiments are conducted. Computer scientists, photonics
engineers and electrical engineers who would like to foray into
quantum technologies would also find this narrative useful to learn
about the terminology, key postulates of quantum physics, the collapse
of states on measurement and how quantum computers could be
implemented.
KEY FEATURES
* Accompanied by downloadable code and data from real experiments
for readers to manipulate, plot and compute expectation values, errors
and density matrices.
* Includes worked examples demonstrating basic calculations on
computing probabilities from projective measurements, effect of
unitary operators on states, computing density matrices, and
expectation values, fidelities and purities.
* Features end-of-chapter problems
* Incorporates overviews and learning objectives for each chapter
* Essential reading for students of quantum physics and modern
optics
