Quantum physics: The squeeze goes on
Eugene S. Polzik1
Abstract
After 20 years of hard labour, squeezed states — light and matter whose quantum fluctuations have been arduously suppressed below standard levels of quantum noise — are coming of age and are ripe for application.
Light is a quantum-mechanical object. One of the manifestations of that fact is that its amplitude (roughly, the number of photons present) and phase cannot be known simultaneously with arbitrary accuracy.
- Eugene S. Polzik is at QUANTOP — the Danish Quantum Optics Center, The Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, Blegdamsvej 17, 2100 København Ø, Denmark.
