This award will support collaborative research between Dr. Carlton Caves of the University of Southern California and Dr. Gerald J. Milburn of the Department of Physics, University of Queensland, Australia. An overall objective of this research is to advance characterization of photons. Characterization of photons are a partial function of the properties -- which determine the optical frequency mode -- of particular detectors. Development of a theory of continual optical-frequency measurements is therefore necessary to advance characterization of photons. Without such theory, it becomes difficult to find quantum limitations to high- precision optical detection of photons. The specific objective of this project is to develop a theoretical framework for describing and analyzing continual quantum-limited detection of optical fields. The project continues collaboration of U.S. and Australian researchers who have made significant contributions to development of this theoretical framework. Expectations are that the project will improve the framework; contribute to the foundations of quantum physics; and, in addition, lead to advances in applications in modern optics and optical communications theory.

该奖项将支持合作研究， 南加州大学的卡尔顿·凯夫斯博士 和物理系的杰拉尔德·米尔本博士 澳大利亚昆士兰州大学。 总体 这项研究的目的是推进表征 光子。光子的特征是一个局部的 属性的功能--决定了 光频模式--特殊探测器的模式。 连续光频理论的发展 因此，必须进行测量， 光子的特征。如果没有这样的理论， 很难找到量子极限， 光子的精确光学探测。 具体 该项目的目标是开发一个理论 描述和分析连续性的框架 光场的量子极限探测。 该项目继续美国和澳大利亚的合作 研究人员做出了重大贡献， 这一理论框架的发展。预期 该项目将改善框架; 为量子物理学的基础做出贡献;以及， 此外，还导致了现代应用方面进展， 光学和光通信理论。
