In this chapter we will introduce the theoretical description of continuous measurements in quantum optics, including photon counting, homodyne and heterodyne measurement. Our objective is to show how the quantum theory of measurement provides a new perspective on irreversible quantum dynamics as we have treated it in the two preceding chapters.

摘要

In this chapter we will introduce the theoretical description of continuous measurements in quantum optics, including photon counting, homodyne and heterodyne measurement. Our objective is to show how the quantum theory of measurement provides a new perspective on irreversible quantum dynamics as we have treated it in the two preceding chapters.
