Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
In recent years the interest in quantum information has been growing rapidly due to exciting theoretical developments that are complemented by steady experimental progress. Most of the newly discovered effects depend on quantum entanglement. Therefore this project aims at the theoretical investigation of the information theoretical properties of entanglement under local quantum mechanical transformations as well as the development of new ideas for their implementation in quantum optical systems. The aim is to improve our understanding and the efficiency of existing methods of entanglement manipulations as well as to find quantitative relations between fundamental quantities such as quantum entanglement, quantum cloning and classical information. We also aim to propose new, experimentally realisable ideas to generate, manipulate and observe quantum entanglement. We will investigate systems of close lying ions interacting via dipole-dipole interaction as well as ions in optical cavities under continuous observation. Apart from the direct generation of entanglement we are also interested in the investigation of entanglement induced effects e.g. in the resonance fluorescence of laser driven trapped ions in an optical cavity, which can be observed with present experimental technologies.
