Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum information theory has revolutionised our view on the true nature of information and has led to such intriguing topics as teleportation and quantum computation. The field — by its very nature strongly interdisciplinary, with deep roots in the foundations both of quantum mechanics and of information theory and computer science — has become a major subject for scientists working in fields as diverse as quantum optics, superconductivity or information theory, all the way to computer engineers. The aim of this book is to provide guidance and introduce the broad literature in all the various aspects of quantum information theory. The topics covered range from the fundamental aspects of the theory, like quantum algorithms and quantum complexity, to the technological aspects of the design of quantum-information-processing devices. Each section of the book consists of a selection of key papers (with particular attention to their tutorial value), chosen and introduced by leading scientists in the specific area. An entirely new introduction to quantum complexity has been specially written for the book.

Download PDF The Effects of a Magnetic Field on Radiation -Memoirs by Faraday Kerr and Zeeman by E. P. Lewis and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early part of this century possible relationships between the various "forces of nature" began to attract the attention of physicists. In 1800 William Herschel discovered that a "heat spectrum" is superimposed on and extends beyond the visible solar spectrum, indicating some relationship between heat and light. This seems to have suggested to Domenico Morichini, of Rome, the search for a relationship between light and magnetism. In 1812 he claimed that he had been able to magnetize steel needles by exposing them to the violet radiation in the solar spectrum. Others, including Mrs. Somerville, in England, believed that they had verified his results, but many were unable to reproduce them, and it was finally demonstrated that all these effects had been due to other causes. The dispute over this question extended over many years, and is an instructive illustration of the difficulty which even skilled experimenters may have in solving a comparatively simple experimental problem. About 1825 Sir John Herschel sent a polarized beam of light along the axis of a helix carrying an electric current. Examination with an analyzer showed no effect. He also intended to test the effect of a polarized beam passing tangentially by a conductor carrying a current, but never executed the experiment. No other attempt to show a relationship between light and magnetism seems to have been made until Faraday undertook the investigation described in the following pages.

This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword by Nobel laureate Professor Theodor W. Hänsch of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Based on the authors’ experimental work over the last 25 years, Laser-Based Measurements for Time and Frequency Domain Applications: A Handbook presents basic concepts, state-of-the-art applications, and future trends in optical, atomic, and molecular physics. It provides all the background information on the main kinds of laser sources and techniques, offers a detailed account of the most recent results obtained for time- and frequency-domain applications of lasers, and develops the theoretical framework necessary for understanding the experimental applications. After a historical introduction, the book describes the basic concepts and mathematical tools required for studying the physics of oscillators. It then discusses microwave and optical resonators, crucial aspects of operation and fundamental properties of lasers, and precision spectroscopy and absolute frequency metrology. It also focuses on microwave and optical frequency standards and explores current and potential research directions. Accessible to scientists, postdoc researchers, and advanced undergraduate students, this self-contained book gives a wide-ranging, balanced overview of the areas—including frequency standards and clocks, ultra-high-precision spectroscopy, quantum information, and environmental metrology—revolutionized by the recent advent of optical frequency comb synthesizers (OFCSs) based on femtosecond mode-locked lasers. The book is also a useful guide to cutting-edge research for manufacturers of advanced laser systems and optical devices.
