Information and noise in photon entanglement
Holger F. Hofmann
By using finite resolution measurements it is possible to simultaneously obtain noisy information on two non-commuting polarization components of a single photon. This method can b…
Finite resolution measurement of the non-classical polarization statistics of entangled photon pairs
Holger F. Hofmann
By limiting the resolution of quantum measurements, the measurement induced changes of the quantum state can be reduced, permitting subsequent measurements of variables that do not…
Photon echo signature of vibrational cat states created by femtosecond excitation of molecules
Holger F. Hofmann, Takao Fuji, Takayoshi Kobayashi
A pair of coherent femtosecond pulse excitations applied to a molecule with strong electron-phonon coupling creates a coherent superposition of a low momentum and a high momentum w…
Molecular photon echoes as a signature of vibrational cat states
Holger F. Hofmann, Takao Fuji, Atsushi Sugita +1
Quantum interference between two distinct vibrational trajectories induced by two pulse femtosecond excitation in molecules is shown to result in a photon echo, providing direct ev…
Nonclassical correlations between photon number and quadrature components of the light field
Holger F. Hofmann
Finite resolution quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements allow a determination of light field properties while preserving some of the original quantum coherence of the input stat…
Correlations of measurement information and noise in quantum measurements with finite resolution
Holger F. Hofmann, Takayoshi Kobayashi, Akira Furusawa
The original purpose of measurements is to provide us with information about a previously unknown physical property of the system observed. In the Hilbert space formalism of quantu…
