- W2793307124 abstract "This thesis fathoms the possibilities and limitations of measurements in quantum optics. After a short introduction to the general aspects of measurements in quantum mechanics, it presents three examples of a measurement process in concrete applications to quantum optics. For one, while operators describing quantities of interest might have a simple theoretical form, it is often hard to actually implement a measurement of their expectation values experimentally. This situation is encountered in the first part which is devoted to the measurement of quantum statistical properties of a light beam. In contrast to classical optics, these statistics are not fully determined by first- and second-order correlations. Instead, higher-order correlations, usually described by non-Hermitian operators, are necessary to characterize the quantum state completely. A particular example is the N-photon Fock state, for which only a measurement of the Nth-order correlations allows for a full characterization. Here, we present a new method how to measure an important class of Nth-order correlations for arbitrary N in a single spatial mode with two polarizations with limited experimental resources. The second part is again centered around the realization of specific measurement operators for photon correlation measurements. However, in contrast to the previous chapter, these measurements are not an end in their own, but are designed to create specific quantum states as a consequence of the measurement process: A suitable measurement of photons emitted by a number of atoms allows to transfer the atoms into long-lived entangled states. We find that with this method it is possible to entangle two remote atomic qubits to an arbitrary and well-defined degree. Furthermore, we show how to generate two families of quantum states in an arbitrary number of remote atomic qubits: one family consists of all -- symmetric and non-symmetric -- total angular momentum eigenstates in N remote qubits, the other is a family of cluster states. It is also systematically investigated whether the technique of quantum state engineering by projective measurements allows for the creation of any arbitrary state. We find explicit solutions for the case of two and three qubits, while it is shown that no solution exist for N > 6. We conclude the section by proving that with some changes in the setup, this measurement-based quantum state engineering technique allows to create the same states among the scattered photons themselves rather than among the emitting atoms. The last part is devoted to the amount of information one is able to gain about a given system when performing a measurement. The corresponding limits of information are investigated at the example of the duality that arises in a two-way interferometer between the visibility of the interference pattern and the knowledge about the path of the interfering object. We show that there exist correlations between the phase difference the interfering object acquires on its way through the interferometer and the amount of which-way information retrievable from certain observables of the which-way detector. In this way, the which-way information becomes a phase-dependent quantity. In particular, we find that for certain values of the phase shift, the amount of extractable which-way information can be larger than allowed by phase-independent measurement. This property is put to use to find the optimal observable for the which-way detector readout in dependence on the phase of the interfering object. Following this strategy, we are able to gain more which-way information than previously thought possible." @default.
