Abstract:

Quantum measurements are the key for extracting information from quantum systems and for connecting the quantum world with the classical world. Understanding the power and limitation of measurements is of paramount importance not only to foundational studies, but also to many applications, such as quantum tomography, metrology, and communication. I will give a talk on our recent experimental results on realizing both generalized measurement on a single quantum system and collective measurement on multiple-partite system based on linear optics, and their applications in quantum metrology, quantum resource theories and quantum thermodynamics.
