Foundations of quantum physics
Quantum Mechanics was formulated in its most primitive form more than
one hundred years ago. Its improvement over the decades led to a better
understanding of the physical world, followed by a myriad of
technological applications, some of them fully developed (e.g. the
laser) and others yet to come (e.g. quantum computation). For such
implementations to be possible, a close connection to foundational
aspects is mandatory: purely quantum effects should be identified and
studied. To this end, we deal with paradigmatic examples covering the
ondulatory effects of quantum evolution, the manipulation and trapping
of quantum particles and the resources of quantum computation.
