Notes and other helpful materials

 

Reading brick to be provided - no need to print this stuff

 

  • M.A. Nielsen and I.L. Chuang, Quantum Computation and Quantum Information, Cambridge University Press, 2000
  • Chapter 2 is an excellent introduction to the basic principles of quantum mechanics, and the book contains much excellent material on quantum information and computing. A book worth buying.

  • H. Mabuchi and A.C. Doherty, Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics: Coherence in Context, Science, 298, 2002, 1372-1377.
  • J.M Geremia, J.K. Stockton and H. Mabuchi, Real-Time Quantum Feedback Control of Atomic Spin Squeezing, Science, 304, 2004, 270-273.

    Excellent articles on quantum control experiments and related matters.

  • H. Maassen, Quantum Probability, Quantum Information Theory, Quantum Computing, Lecture Notes, 2004.
  • An excellent introduction to quantum probability and applications to quantum computing and information.

  • L. Bouten, R. Van Handel and M.R. James, An Introduction to Quantum Filtering, 2006. [PDF]
  • An advanced paper. However, the first couple of sections are worth reading.

  • M.R. James, Lectures on Stochastic Systems, 1993. [PDF]

    Contains some background theory on classical probability and stochastic processes relevant for control.
