We have pioneered protocols for the measurement of quantum continuous variables and their Einstein-Podolski-Rosen (EPR) correlations/entanglement. Although general, these protocols pertain to continuous variables of matter waves, electromagnetic and other bosonic fields. In particular:
- We introduced the concept, now commonly used, of teleporting quantum continuous variables via conditional measurements of photon numbers.
- We were the first to suggest a measure for EPR entanglement of quantum continuous variables.
- We introduced an information measure for collisionally entangled quantum wavepackets.
- We proposed protocols for quantum wavepacket localization by frequent monitoring.
- We studied anomalous interference properties of translationally-internally entangled quantum partiicles.
