Introduction to Quantum Noise, Measurement and Amplification
by

Publisher: arXiv
Number of pages: 102

Description:
The topic of quantum noise has become extremely timely due to the rise of quantum information physics and the resulting interchange of ideas between the condensed matter and AMO/quantum optics communities. This review gives a pedagogical introduction to the physics of quantum noise and its connections to quantum measurement and quantum amplification.
