  2. Quantum error correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_error_correction

    This approach does not work for a quantum channel in which, due to the no-cloning theorem, it is not possible to repeat a single qubit three times. To overcome this, a different method has to be used, such as the three-qubit bit-flip code first proposed by Asher Peres in 1985. [3]

  3. Quantum optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_optics

    Quantum optics is a branch of atomic, molecular, and optical physics and quantum chemistry dealing with how individual quanta of light, known as photons, interact with atoms and molecules. It includes the study of the particle-like properties of photons.

  4. Mermin's device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mermin's_device

    Each detector (A and B) has a switch with three configurations labeled (1,2 and 3) and a red and a green light bulb. Either the green or the red light will turn on (never both) when a particle enters the device after a given period of time. The light bulbs only emit light in the direction of the observer working on the device.

  5. Squeezed states of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeezed_states_of_light

    Furthermore, an excessive light power can excite unstable mechanical vibrations of the mirrors. These consequences are mitigated if squeezed states of light are used for improving the signal-to-noise-ratio. Squeezed states of light do not increase the light's power. They also do not increase the signal, but instead reduce the noise. [8]

  6. Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

    The Copenhagen interpretation is a collection of views about the meaning of quantum mechanics, stemming from the work of Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, and others. The term "Copenhagen interpretation" was apparently coined by Heisenberg during the 1950s to refer to ideas developed in the 1925–1927 period, glossing over his ...

  7. No-communication theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-communication_theorem

    Further, in 1988, the paper Quantum Field Theory Cannot Provide Faster-Than-Light Communication by Eberhard and Ronald R. Ross analyzed how relativistic quantum field theory inherently forbids faster-than-light communication. [6] This work elaborates on how misinterpretations of quantum field properties had led to claims of superluminal ...

  8. Single-photon source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-photon_source

    The two photons need not generally be the same wavelength, but the total energy and resulting polarisation are defined by the generation process. One area of keen interest for such pairs of photons is quantum key distribution. The heralded single-photon sources are also used to examine the fundamental physics laws in quantum mechanics.

  9. Optical vortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_vortex

    An optical vortex (also known as a photonic quantum vortex, screw dislocation or phase singularity) is a zero of an optical field; a point of zero intensity. The term is also used to describe a beam of light that has such a zero in it. The study of these phenomena is known as singular optics.
