Ensemble versus individual system in quantum optics
arXiv:quant-ph/9710027 · doi:10.1002/(SICI)1521-3978(199811)46:6/8<595::AID-PROP595>3.0.CO;2-M
Abstract
Modern techniques allow experiments on a single atom or system, with new phenomena and new challenges for the theoretician. We discuss what quantum mechanics has to say about a single system. The quantum jump approach as well as the role of quantum trajectories are outlined and a rather sophisticated example is given.
