Continuous Quantum Measurements and Path Integrals (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Continuous Quantum Measurements and Path Integrals examines continuous quantum measurements using Feynman path integrals. The path integral theory is developed to provide formulae for concrete physical effects. The main conclusion drawn from the theory is that an uncertainty principle exists for processes, in addition to the familiar one for states. This implies that a continuous measurement has an optimal accuracy-a balance between inefficient error and large quantum fluctuations (quantum noise). A well-known expert in the field, the author concentrates on the physical and conceptual side of the subject rather than the mathematical.
