Abstract

Chapter 5 explored the manipulation of multi-photon entangled states observed via post selection—a technique that is a powerful approach to observing quantum mechanical effects in experimental quantum information science and a method we shall use again in Chap. 8. For many applications post-selection is not sufficient to generate useful entanglement that will provide a quantum mechanical advantage over other means.

Some of the results reported in this chapter and an abbreviated discussion thereof were published as Ref. [1]
