Quantum Measurement / Andrew N. JORDAN (2024)

Public ISBD title : Quantum Measurement : Theory & Practice Type de document : printed text Auteur : Andrew N. JORDAN, Author ; Irfan A. SIDDIQI, Author Editeur : Cambridge : Cambridge University Press Date de publication : 2024 ISBN (ou autre code) : 978-1-00-910006-9 Langue : English (eng) Mots clé : generalized measurement  projective measurement Indexation : 530.12 Mécanique quantique Résumé : This book adopts a novel, physics-first approach to quantum measurement, using physical experiments as the basis to describe the underlying mathematical formalism. Topics covered include weak measurements, quantum measurement reversal, quantum trajectories and the stochastic path integral formalism. The theory of quantum measurement is also covered in detail, including discussion of how it can be tested and demonstrated in a laboratory: how to build quantum-limited amplifiers, fundamental noise limits imposed on measurement by quantum mechanics, and the design of superconducting circuits. This text is an excellent introduction for students with a basic understanding of quantum mechanics wanting to learn more about measurement theory, and the inclusion of a wide selection of end-of-chapter exercises make this book ideal for emerging courses on the topic. Key chapters introducing the foundations of quantum computing and the history of measurement theory are equally accessible to a broader, less specialised audience.

Foundation of Molecular Quantum Elecrodynamics / R.Guy Woolley (2022)

Public ISBD title : Foundation of Molecular Quantum Elecrodynamics Type de document : printed text Auteur : R.Guy Woolley, Author Editeur : Cambridge : Cambridge University Press Date de publication : 2022 ISBN (ou autre code) : 978-1-00-922576-2 Langue : English (eng) Mots clé : classical elecromagnetism  quantum theory Indexation : 530.12 Mécanique quantique Note de contenu : Foundations of Molecular Quantum Electrodynamics is an advanced textbook that provides a comprehensive and rigorous introduction to molecular quantum electrodynamics (QED) — the theory describing how molecules interact with electromagnetic fields at the quantum level. The book is structured in three major parts: Classical Electrodynamics and Mechanics: The first section revisits the essential principles of classical electrodynamics and mechanics using tools such as Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms. It sets the mathematical foundation needed before moving into quantum theory. Quantum Mechanics Foundations: The second section focuses on quantum mechanics fundamentals, especially how they relate to molecular systems. It covers key concepts like the Coulomb Hamiltonian and modern treatments of approximations such as the Born-Oppenheimer approximation (which separates electronic motion from nuclear motion in molecules). Non-Relativistic Quantum Electrodynamics: The final section dives into non-relativistic QED, explaining how atoms and molecules interact with light. This includes detailed discussions of frameworks such as the Power-Zienau-Woolley (PZW) representation and both perturbative and non-perturbative approaches to QED calculations.
