This review covers the latest developments in continuous-variable quantum-state tomography of optical fields and photons, placing a special emphasis on its practical aspects and applications in quantum-information technology. Optical homodyne tomography is reviewed as a method of reconstructing the state of light in a given optical mode. A range of relevant practical topics is discussed, such as state-reconstruction algorithms (with emphasis on the maximum-likelihood technique), the technology of time-domain homodyne detection, mode-matching issues, and engineering of complex quantum states of light. The paper also surveys quantum-state tomography for the transverse spatial state (spatial mode) of the field in the special case of fields containing precisely one photon.read more

Observation of squeezed states generated by four-wave mixing in an optical cavity
TL;DR: Squeezed states of the electromagnetic field have been generated by nondegenerate four-wave mixing due to Na atoms in an optical cavity by measuring the total noise level in the deamplified quadrature below the vacuum noise level.

Quantum interface between light and atomic ensembles
TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction of light with multiatom ensembles has attracted much attention as a basic building block for quantum information processing and quantum state engineering, and the authors provide a common theoretical frame for these processes, describes basic experimental techniques and media used for quantum interfaces, and reviews several key experiments on quantum memory for light, quantum entanglement between atomic enambles and light, and quantum teleportation with atomic enassembles.

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?
TL;DR: Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that one is led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.

On the quantum correction for thermodynamic equilibrium
TL;DR: In this article, the Boltzmann formula for lower temperatures has been developed for a correction term, which can be developed into a power series of h. The formula is developed for this correction by means of a probability function and the result discussed.

A scheme for efficient quantum computation with linear optics.
TL;DR: It is shown that efficient quantum computation is possible using only beam splitters, phase shifters, single photon sources and photo-detectors and are robust against errors from photon loss and detector inefficiency.
