Quantum Mechanics in the Single Photon Laboratory 1st Edition – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

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.
