This e-book describes the experimental and theoretical bases for the advance of in particular quantum-mechanical techniques to metrology, imaging, and verbal exchange. particularly, it provides novel strategies built during the last twenty years and explicates them either theoretically and via connection with experiments which display their ideas in perform. the actual recommendations explored comprise two-photon interferometry, two-photon optical aberration and dispersion cancellation, lithography, microscopy, and cryptography.

70) 26 1 Quantum Optics and Entanglement where, for quantization volume V , the positive and negative frequency parts are given in terms of creation and annihilation operators by Eˆ (−) j (k) = i 2π ω † aˆ j (k), V Eˆ (+) j (k) = −i 2π ω aˆ j (k). 71) Substituting Eqs. 71) into Eq. c. indicates a term which is the Hermitian conjugate of the displayed term. Here, it has been assumed that the incoming intensity is high enough to treat the pump as a classical field, so that it was replaced by a c-number constant instead of being treated as an operator.
