商品描述
This book provides the building blocks for continued exploration of quantum optics in previously inaccessible regimes and more complex simulations of natural phenomena at the quantum frontier. Sebastian Saner carried out ground-breaking experimental research in quantum optics, with important applications to quantum computing and simulation. The story of quantum technology, now the subject of multi-billion dollar government and private investments around the globe, is one of ever more exquisite control over quantum systems such as individual spins and quantum harmonic oscillators. Typically, such systems are controlled individually, or one is used to mediate interactions in another. Instead, Sebastian Saner demonstrated a new regime of control that puts both quantum systems on an equal footing, using systems of one or two individual trapped atomic ions whose internal states represent qubits, and whose motion is an harmonic oscillator. The author used this hybrid system to perform an astonishingly diverse range of world-first demonstrations: the first quantum logic gates driven by a standing-wave laser field (which can potentially be much faster than previous gates); the first achievement of arbitrary superposition states of "squeezed" harmonic oscillator states; and the first observation of real-time dynamics of a simple lattice gauge theory, including Aharonov-Bohm interference.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書提供了持續探索量子光學在先前無法接觸的領域及更複雜的自然現象模擬的基礎。Sebastian Saner 在量子光學方面進行了開創性的實驗研究,並對量子計算和模擬有重要應用。量子技術的故事,如今成為全球數十億美元政府和私人投資的主題,是對量子系統(如單個自旋和量子諧振子)越來越精緻的控制。通常,這些系統是單獨控制的,或是用一個系統來調解另一個系統的互動。然而,Sebastian Saner 展示了一種新的控制範疇,使兩個量子系統處於平等的地位,使用一或兩個個別被捕獲的原子離子系統,其內部狀態代表量子位(qubits),而其運動則是一個諧振子。作者利用這個混合系統進行了一系列驚人且多樣的世界首創演示:首個由駐波激光場驅動的量子邏輯閘(其速度可能遠快於先前的閘);首次實現“壓縮”諧振子狀態的任意疊加態;以及首次觀察到簡單晶格規範理論的實時動態,包括 Aharonov-Bohm 干涉。
作者簡介
Dr. Sebastian Saner is a quantum physicist specialising in quantum computing with hybrid qubit-oscillator systems. He completed his DPhil at the University of Oxford, where he developed novel quantum control techniques for such hybrid systems. His research enables versatile quantum operations, the generation of a new family of non-classical superposition states, and the simulation of previously inaccessible quantum phenomena.
