QUANTUM SQUEEZING [1 record]

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
  • Relativity (Physics)
CONT

One foundational law of quantum physics states that when it comes to making measurements, certain pairs of physical properties are in a seesaw relationship with one another: reducing the uncertainty, or noise, of one measurement increases that of the other. It’s a principle exploited by physicists who use quantum squeezing. Two fundamental measurements of quantum systems are the most important when discussing quantum squeezing: amplitude and phase.

CONT

Quantum squeezing ... is a method for hushing quantum noise or, more specifically, for pushing the noise from one place to another with the goal of making more precise measurements.

CONT

La compression quantique est l'idée de minimiser les fluctuations quantiques dans un aspect d'un système au détriment d'augmentations proportionnelles des fluctuations dans un autre aspect. L'effet est similaire à celui de presser l'air d'une partie d'un ballon vers une autre.
