Inventory for single-photon experiments.  aFull-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers.3 aThis book is valuable for laboratory developers, researchers and teachers who would like to recreate a similar suite of experiments for students and early career researchers. These experiments enliven theoretical descriptions of key ideas from quantum information and quantum computing, providing accessible means to generate, manipulate and measure quantum states, and understand their implications for the foundations of quantum mechanics. This new edition features additional experiments related to quantum entanglement and non-local quantum erasure and has restructured previous descriptions. Data processing in an open-source language is described. The appendix on programming FGPAs is considerably enhanced.  aPhysics students, lecturers and lab class organisers.  aAlso available in print.  aMode of access: World Wide Web.  aSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.  aMuhammad Sabieh Anwar is Professor of Physics at the Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering, LUMS. He is also General Secretary of the Khwarizmi Science Society (http://www.khwraizmi.org) aimed at awakening a spirit of meaningful science education in the Pakistani society, has founded the PhysLab, a regional platform for research infused physics education and finally, he loves to teach. Faizan-e-Ilahi is a graduate student of Physics at LUMS. During his undergraduate studies he helped to build the Single Photon Quantum Mechanics Laboratory at LUMS. He is currently working in magneto-optics. His areas of interest are quantum information and open quantum systems. He is inspired by the works and lectures of Leonard Susskind. Other than that, he is interested in Urdu and Persian literature and likes to study political philosophies and dystopian literature. Syed Bilal Hyder earned his BS in Physics from LUMS Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering as an NOP scholar. After graduating, he joined PhysLab (https://www.physlab.org) as a full-time researcher and undertook multiple projects to upgrade the single-photon laboratory. His research interests lie in quantum communication and quantum computing architecture. Muhammad Hamza Waseem is pursuing a DPhil in Physics at the University of Oxford. His current research spans quantum foundations and quantum science education. Hamza regularly contributes to science outreach events in Pakistan and the UK. He also works as a Research Scientist at Quantinuum, and teaches mathematics and physics at various institutions within the University of Oxford.  aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on September 3, 2024).  aQuantum theoryxExperiments. 7aQuantum physics (quantum mechanics & quantum field theory)2bicssc 7aSCIENCE / Physics / Quantum Theory.2bisacsh  aFaizan-e-Ilahi,eauthor.1 aHyder, Syed Bilal,eauthor.1 aWaseem, Muhammad Hamza,eauthor.2 aInstitute of Physics (Great Britain),epublisher. 8iPrint version:z9780750363136z9780750363167 0aIOP (Series).pRelease 24.  aIOP series in quantum technology.  aIOP ebooks.p2024 collection.4 uhttps://iopscience.iop.org/book/mono/978-0-7503-6315-0
