Description

The rapid development of quantum technologies has driven a revolution in related research areas such as quantum computation and communication, and quantum materials. The first prototypes of functional quantum devices are beginning to appear, frequently created using ensembles of atoms, which allow the observation of sensitive, quantum effects, and have important applications in quantum simulation and matter wave interferometry. This modern text offers a self-contained introduction to the fundamentals of quantum atom optics and atomic many-body matter wave systems. Assuming a familiarity with undergraduate quantum mechanics, this book will be accessible for graduate students and early career researchers moving into this important new field. A detailed description of the underlying theory of quantum atom optics is given, before development of the key, quantum, technological applications, such as atom interferometry, quantum simulation, quantum metrology, and quantum computing.

Author Biography

Tim Byrnes is Assistant Professor in physics at New York University Shanghai. He has previously held research positions at the National Institute of Informatics and the University of Tokyo in Japan, where his research has been focused on quantum information, particularly quantum simulation, exciton-polariton physics, and alternative models of quantum computation. Ebubechukwu O. Ilo-Okeke obtained his PhD from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA. In 2017, he was appointed Research Fellow at New York University Shanghai, where his research is focused on ultra-cold atomic gases, quantum atom optics, and quantum information.
