This book presents the basics and applications of superconducting
devices in quantum optics. Over the past decade, superconducting
devices have risen to prominence in the arena of quantum optics
and quantum information processing. Superconducting detectors
provide unparalleled performance for the detection of infrared
photons in quantum cryptography, enable fundamental advances in
quantum optics, and provide a direct route to on-chip optical
quantum information processing. Superconducting circuits based on
Josephson junctions provide a blueprint for scalable quantum
information processing as well as opening up a new regime for
quantum optics at microwave wavelengths. The new field
of quantum acoustics allows the state of a superconducting qubit
to be transmitted as a phonon excitation. This volume,
edited by two leading researchers, provides a timely compilation
of contributions from top groups worldwide across this dynamic
field, anticipating future advances in this domain.
