Quantum dynamics and measurement of radiation in the time domain (A05)

• Subject Area: Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics ; Optics, Quantum Optics and Physics of Atoms, Molecules and Plasmas
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 425217212

In this project, we will develop a theoretical framework to describe ultrabroadband electro-optic sampling processes and a variety of quantum fluctuation phenomena and quantum measurement protocols that can be realized with them, specifically the measurement back-action effect, the simultaneous measurement of incompatible observables, and multi-time correlation functions. We will also explore other areas where quantum measurements of the electromagnetic field can be implemented, in particular microwave circuit quantum electrodynamics with solid-state systems.
