Quantum engineering moves on
Jan 1, 1999
One of the most intriguing features of quantum mechanics is the existence of entangled states. These states result from the superposition of individual quantum states in composite systems,
such as a collection of particles,
and cannot be expressed as a product of the individual states. The generation and manipulation of entangled states is fundamental to studies of the most basic aspects of quantum mechanics,
and provides the basis of applications such as quantum computing,
quantum communications and high-precision spectroscopy.
