Quantum State: Basis States
The Stern–Gerlach setup of Figure 2.1 with the direction of inhomogeneity of the magnetic field defined as the z-axis is going to be the basis for defining 2 The standard unit for atomic magnetic moment is the Bohr Magneton, given by e~ 2m e c , numerically equal to about 5.8×10 −5 eV/T, where m…

The Stern–Gerlach Experiment
Way back in 1922, when physicists were still studying the new and aston- ishing properties of the basic constituents of matter, an experiment designed 15 16 Introduction to Quantum Physics and Information Processing to measure the magnetic moment of atoms gave unexpected results. This was the classic Stern–Gerlach experiment [36], designed to measure the magnetic…

Introduction to Quantum Physics and Information Processing
Introduction to Quantum Physics and Information Processing (a) Experimental setup: 1 slit closed (b) Classically expected result (c) Actual result: interference Introduction 9 1.2 Properties of Qubits Quantum systems have certain properties that are counter-intuitive and completely outside our range of experience in the classical world. These “weird” properties are best understood as inevitable consequences…

Introduction
Information as accessed by the human mind, and the myriad ways of process- ing it, is what has set humankind apart in the animal world. The ability to use the physical systems around us to encode and then to process information has been evolving in leaps and bounds ever since the dawn of our race!…

Why This Book Is Different
This explains why quantum physics is such a popular subject for popular scientists. There are many books out there devoted to its introduction, and many of these are excellent. Nevertheless, the majority of them present the subject either in exclusively conceptual terms that rely on everyday analogies, or by quickly drilling down to the underlying…

Introduction
“When you come to a fork in the road, take it!” This sage advice from Yogi Berra revealed that he was not only a great baseball player and humorist, but also a secret quantum physicist. After all, everyday experience tells us that when you come to a fork in the road, you can go in…
