Fundamentals of quantum entanglement / / F.J. Duarte.

"Version: 20191001"--Title page verso.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Quantum entanglement (QE) is undoubtedly one of the most, if not the most, mysterious and yet most promising subjects of current physics. With applications in cryptographic space-to-space, space-to-earth, and fibre communications, in addition to teleportation and quantum computing, QE goes beyond fascination and into the pragmatic spheres of commerce and the military. This book is written by Professor Duarte, an expert in the field of quantum optics. He provides the first side-by-side description of the philosophical path and the physical path to quantum entanglement, and does so in a clear and cohesive manner. This is also the first book to describe and explain, in a transparent exposition, the interferometric derivation, à la Dirac, of the ubiquitous probability amplitude for quantum entanglement. The book will be useful for optical engineers working in the field of quantum entanglement and quantum communications as well as graduate students. The book includes 29 succinct, to the point, chapters and utilizes 10 useful appendices to further detail QE. Part of Series in Coherent Sources and Applications.

Research students, optical engineers, communication, cryptography specialist, physicists not specialized in Dirac's quantum mechanics.

F.J. Duarte is an award-winning laser physicist who is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Physics, and the Optical Society. As an expert in the field of narrow-linewidth tuneable lasers and their applications, Duarte has a vast knowledge and research experience in coherent imaging, high-power tuneable lasers, interferometric microscopy, laser metrology, laser oscillator physics, quantum interference, and numerous other related fields. He is currently exploring the physics of organic semiconductor coherent sources and quantum space-to-space communications, which are rapidly developing fields with exciting horizons.
