Fundamentals of Quantum Entanglement (IOP Series in Coherent Sources, Quantum Fundamental)

Quantum Entanglement (QE) is one of the most mysterious and promising subjects of current physics. With applications in cryptographic space-to-space, space-to-earth, and fibre communications, in addition to teleportation and quantum computing, QE goes beyond fascination and into the pragmatic spheres of commerce and the military. This book is written by Professor Duarte, an expert in the field of quantum optics. He provides the first side-by-side description of the philosophical path and the physical path to quantum entanglement and does so in a clear and cohesive manner. This is also the first book to describe and explain, in a transparent exposition, the interferometric derivation, à la Dirac, of the ubiquitous probability amplitude for quantum entanglement. The book includes 30 succinct, to the point, chapters and utilizes 10 useful appendices to further detail QE. This edition is a more informative, more insightful, and extended version of the First Edition with problems to improve its didactical usefulness. Current topics, such as quantum entropy and quantum time, are discussed throughout. The book is highly useful for optical engineers working in the field of quantum entanglement and quantum communications as well as graduate students. Key Features: Provides an overview of quantum entanglement at a basic level Explains the philosophical origin of quantum entanglement as well as the physical origin Presents the key equation for the probability amplitude for QE from three perspectives while emphasizing its interferometric derivation Includes applications on Quantum Cryptography, Quantum Teleportation, Quantum Computing Reviews the current technology of QE with an emphasis in space-to-space communications
