Noisy Quantum Measurement of Solid-State Qubits: Bayesian Approach

  • Chapter
Quantum Noise in Mesoscopic Physics

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 97))

Abstract

We discuss a recently developed formalism which describes the quantum evolution of a solid-state qubit due to its continuous measurement. In contrast to the conventional ensembleaveraged formalism, it takes into account the measurement record and therefore is able to consider individual realizations of the measurement process. The formalism provides testable experimental predictions and can be used for the analysis of a quantum feedback control of solid-state qubits. We also discuss generalization of the Bayesian formalism to the continuous measurement of entangled qubits.
