Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in quantum devices for the production,
storage, and transfer of energy. This Colloquium concentrates on the field of quantum …

A review is given on the foundations and applications of non-Hermitian classical and
quantum physics. First, key theorems and central concepts in non-Hermitian linear algebra …

Quantum information processing relies on the precise control of non-classical states in the
presence of many uncontrolled environmental degrees of freedom. The interactions …

Studies of the dynamics of open quantum systems are limited by the large Hilbert space of
typical environments, which is too large to be treated exactly. In some cases, approximate …

This Colloquium describes a new paradigm for creating strong quantum interactions of light
and matter by way of single atoms and photons in nanoscopic lattices. Beyond the …

The technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), which allows efficient and
selective population transfer between quantum states without suffering loss due to …

Quantum-enhanced measurements exploit quantum mechanical effects for increasing the
sensitivity of measurements of certain physical parameters and have great potential for both …

The manner in which states of some quantum systems become effectively classical is of
great significance for the foundations of quantum physics, as well as for problems of …

Robust edge states and non-Abelian excitations are the trademark of topological states of
matter, with promising applications such as 'topologically protected'quantum memory and …
