Quantum Mechanics in the Single-Photon Laboratory (Second Edition) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Emerging from a series of experiments designed by the authors, this book provides an overview of fundamental experiments that can be used as a first-time introduction to practically demonstrate the underlying principles of quantum information science. This new edition features additional experiments related to quantum entanglement and non-local quantum erasure and has restructured previous descriptions. Data processing in an open-source language is described. The appendix on programming FGPAs is considerably enhanced.

Designed with multiple readerships in mind, this book is valuable for the laboratory developer or the Professor who would like to recreate a similar suite of experiments for students. The early career researcher or entrant to the area of practical quantum computing will also find this book useful as a collection of new ideas and tools that can accelerate the route to adeptness. Would the quantum software industry be interested in building a small laboratory infrastructure to upskill their workforce in the quantum enterprise? The single photon route is one way to go! Furthermore, the book also connects with interpretations of the experimental data and links these results back to the very foundations of quantum mechanics. The authors have created a self-contained resource that keeps experimental demonstrations of quantum mechanics, quantum information and the nature of quantum reality centre-stage and weaves the necessary mathematics and underlying theory when and where it is needed.

Autorenporträt

Muhammad Sabieh Anwar is Professor of Physics at the Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering, LUMS. He is also General Secretary of the Khwarizmi Science Society (http://www.khwraizmi.org) aimed at awakening a spirit of meaningful science education in the Pakistani society, has founded the PhysLab, a regional platform for research infused physics education and finally, he loves to teach.

Muhammad Hamza Waseem is pursuing a DPhil in Physics at the University of Oxford. His current research spans quantum foundations and quantum science education. Hamza regularly contributes to science outreach events in Pakistan and the UK. He also works as a Research Scientist at Quantinuum, and teaches mathematics and physics at various institutions within the University of Oxford.

Faizan-e-Ilahi is a graduate student of Physics at LUMS. During his undergraduate studies he helped to build the Single Photon Quantum Mechanics Laboratory at LUMS. He is currently working in magneto-optics. His areas of interest are quantum information and open quantum systems. He is inspired by the works and lectures of Leonard Susskind. Other than that, he is interested in Urdu and Persian literature and likes to study political philosophies and dystopian literature.

Syed Bilal Hyder earned his BS in Physics from LUMS Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering as an NOP scholar. After graduating, he joined PhysLab (https://www.physlab.org) as a full-time researcher and undertook multiple projects to upgrade the single-photon laboratory. His research interests lie in quantum communication and quantum computing architecture.
