Concepts and applications of quantum measurement

C. A. M. de Melo, B. M. Pimentel, Ramirez, J. A.

Here we deal in a pedagogical way with an approach to construct an algebraic structure for the Quantum Mechanical measurement processes from the concept of \emph{Measurement Symbol}. Such concept was conceived by Julian S. Schwinger and constitutes a fundamental piece in his variational formalism and its several applications.

The application of concepts from quantum information science to the task of measuring properties of physical systems allows precision and perspectives going beyond that available through classical approaches. This thesis presents experimental and theoretical work that demonstrates this in the context of optical quantum systems, with particular emphasis on photonics.

This thesis is devoted to the study of quantum non-locality, in the framework of quantum information science. The research presented here includes both theoretical works on some fundamental concepts, such as the measurement process and quantum correlations, as well as some applications in modern quantum optics. As it is often the case in quantum information science, the joint study of fundamental notions and applications is very productive. While a better understanding of the fundamental concepts may lead to new applications, it happens also that applications shed new light on some fundamental notions...
