Outline of Final Research Achievements

“Quantum measurement” is a keyword that distinguishes the quantum world from the classical world. We have explored nontrivial roles of quantum measurement in a variety of subjects. In particular, we have focused on “quantum metrology,” “quantum control,” and “statistical mechanics.” We have developed novel ideas and unique methodologies for quantum metrology and quantum control, contributing to the field of quantum information technology, and have shed light upon the intriguing roles of quantum measurement for the foundations of statistical mechanics.
