| Title | Quantum Limits on Measurement and Control of a Mechanical Oscillator |
| Author(s) | Sudhir, Vivishek |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIX, 214 p. 46 illus., 43 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis reports on experiments in which the motion of a mechanical oscillator is measured with unprecedented precision. The position fluctuations of the oscillator???a glass nanostring???are measured with an imprecision that is sufficient to resolve its quantum?? zero-point motion within its thermal decoherence time. The concomitant observation of measurement back-action, in accordance with Heisenberg???s?? uncertainty principle, verifies the principles of linear quantum measurements on a macroscopic mechanical object. The record of the measurement is used to perform feedback control so as to suppress both classical thermal motion and quantum measurement back-action. These results verify some of the central and long-standing predictions of quantum measurement theory applied to a macroscopic object. The act of measurement not only perturbs the subject of the measurement???the mechanical oscillator???but also changes the state of the light used to make the measurement. This prediction is verified by demonstrating that the optical field, after having interacted with the mechanical oscillator, contains quantum correlations that render its quadrature fluctuations smaller than those of the vacuum ??? i.e., the light is squeezed. Lastly, the thesis reports on some of the first feedback control experiments involving macroscopic objects in the quantum regime, together with an exploration of the quantum limit of feedback control. The book offers a pedagogical account of linear measurement theory, its realization via optical interferometry, and contains a detailed guide to precision optical interferometry.?? |

| Title | Top-Down Design of Disordered Photonic Structures : Multidisciplinary Approaches Inspired by Quantum and Network Concepts |
| Author(s) | Yu, Sunkyu;Piao, Xianji;Park, Namkyoo |
| Publication | Singapore, Springer Singapore, 2019. |
| Description | VII, 88 p. 49 illus., 48 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book introduces recent advances in the deterministic design of photonic structures, which overcome the current limitation in conventional disordered materials. It develops new concepts for disordered photonics inspired by notions in quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, mathematics and network theory, such as isospectrality, supersymmetry, graph network, small-world, de Broglie-Bohm theory, and parity-time symmetry. The multidisciplinary approach based on the core concepts of isospectrality (Chapter 2) and metadisorder (Chapter 3) offers a new perspective on the design methodology in photonics and in general disordered structures toward top-down designs of future photonic applications: perfect bandgap with strong modal localization, switching of random waves for binary and fuzzy logics, photonic analogy of graph networks, interdimensional signal transport, robust wave functions in disordered structures, and a novel method of energy storage and phase trapping based on Bohmian photonics. This book will provide new design criteria for physicists and engineers in photonics, and inspirations for researchers in other fields |

| Title | Electro-optic Photonic Circuits : From Linear and Nonlinear Waves in Nanodisordered Photorefractive Ferroelectrics |
| Author(s) | Di Domenico, Giuseppe |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XIX, 136 p. 48 illus., 40 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book reports new findings in the fields of nonlinear optics, quantum optics and optical microscopy. It presents the first experimental device able to transform an input Gaussian beam into a non-diffracting Bessel-like beam. The modulation mechanism, i.e. electro-optic effect, allows the device to be fast, miniaturizable and integrable into solid state arrays. Also presented is an extensive study of the superposition of Bessel beams and their propagation in turbid media, with the aim of realizing field that is both localized and non-diffracting. These findings have been implemented in a light-sheet microscope to improve the optical sectioning. From a more theoretical point of view this work also tackles the problem of whether and how a single particle is able to entangle two distant systems. The results obtained introduce fundamental limitations on the use of linear optics for quantum technology. Other chapters are dedicated to a number of experiments carried out on disordered ferroelectrics including negative intrinsic mass dynamics, ferroelectric supercrystals, rogue wave dynamics driven by enhanced disorder and first evidence of spatial optical turbulence. |

| Title | Progress in Nanophotonics 5 |
| Author(s) | Yatsui, Takashi |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XV, 205 p. 51 illus., 15 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents important topics in nanophotonics in review-style chapters written by world leading scientists. The book sketches the history of dressed photon science and technology and explains why advanced theories of dressed photons are required. To meet this requirement, the recent results of theoretical studies and the theory of dressed photons are displayed by modifying the conventional electromagnetic theory. The classical theoretical model of spatiotemporal vortex dynamics is explained by treating the dressed photon as a space-like virtual photon. Also discussed in the book is the energy transfer of dressed photons, based on a quantum walk model and a quantum mechanical measurement process of dressed photons for connecting the nano- and macro-systems. Dressed photons are explained as quantum fields by characterizing them in momentum space. |

| Title | Photons : The History and Mental Models of Light Quanta |
| Author(s) | Hentschel, Klaus |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIII, 231 p. 38 illus., 11 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book focuses on the gradual formation of the concept of ???light quanta??? or ???photons???, as they have usually been called in English since 1926. The great number of synonyms that have been used by physicists to denote this concept indicates that there are many different mental models of what ???light quanta??? are: simply finite, ???quantized packages of energy??? or ???bullets of light???? ???Atoms of light??? or ???molecules of light???? ???Light corpuscles??? or ???quantized waves???? Singularities of the field or spatially extended structures able to interfere? ???Photons??? in G.N. Lewis???s sense, or as defined by QED, i.e. virtual exchange particles transmitting the electromagnetic force? The term ???light quantum??? made its first appearance in Albert Einstein???s 1905 paper on a ???heuristic point of view??? to cope with the photoelectric effect and other forms of interaction of light and matter, but the mental model associated with it has a rich history both before and after 1905. Some of its semantic layers go as far back as Newton and Kepler, some are only fully expressed several decades later, while others initially increased in importance then diminished and finally vanished. In conjunction with these various terms, several mental models of light quanta were developed???six of them are explored more closely in this book. It discusses two historiographic approaches to the problem of concept formation: (a) the author???s own model of conceptual development as a series of semantic accretions and (b) Mark Turner???s model of ???conceptual blending???. Both of these models are shown to be useful and should be explored further. This is the first historiographically sophisticated history of the fully fledged concept and all of its twelve semantic layers. It systematically combines the history of science with the history of terms and a philosophically inspired history of ideas in conjunction with insights from cognitive science |

| Title | Advanced Undergraduate Quantum Mechanics : Methods and Applications |
| Author(s) | Deych, Lev I |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIX, 610 p. 50 illus., 26 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This introduction to quantum mechanics is intended for undergraduate students of physics, chemistry, and engineering with some previous exposure to quantum ideas. Following in Heisenberg???s and Dirac???s footsteps, this book is centered on the concept of the quantum state as an embodiment of all experimentally available information about a system, and its representation as a vector in an abstract Hilbert space. This conceptual framework and formalism are introduced immediately, and developed throughout the first four chapters, while the standard Schr??dinger equation does not appear until Chapter 5. The book grew out of lecture notes developed by the author over fifteen years of teaching at the undergraduate level. In response to numerous requests by students, material is presented with an unprecedented level of detail in both derivation of technical results and discussion of their physical significance.?? The book is written for students to enjoy reading it, rather than to use only as a source of formulas and examples. The colloquial and personal writing style makes it easier for readers to connect with the material. Additionally, readers will find short, relatable snippets about the ???founding fathers??? of quantum theory, their difficult historical circumstances, personal failings and triumphs, and often tragic fate. This textbook, complete with extensive original end-of-chapter exercises, is recommended for use in one- or two-semester courses for upper level undergraduate and beginning graduate students in physics, chemistry, or engineering |
