Quantum Optics: Fundamentals & Applications

Ivan B. Djordjević

Nicolas Brunner

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...

Light has provided both fundamental phenomenology and enabling technology for scientific discovery for many years, and today it continues to play a central role in fundamental explorations and innovative applications. The ability to manipulate light beams and pulses with the quantum degrees of freedom of optical radiation will add to those advances. The future of quantum optics, which encompasses both the generation and manipulation of nonclassical radiation, as well as its interaction with matter, lies in the rich variety of quantum states that is now becoming feasible to prepare, together with the numerous applications in sensing, imaging, metrology, communications, and information processing that such states enable.
