Nonclassical states and measurement of general motional observables of a trapped ion. (1997)
Journal Article
Gardiner, S., Cirac, J., & Zoller, P. (1997). Nonclassical states and measurement of general motional observables of a trapped ion. Physical Review A, 55(3), 1683-1694. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.55.1683

We describe a method to perform a single quantum measurement of an arbitrary motional observable of a single ion moving in a harmonic potential. We illustrate the measurement procedure with explicit examples, namely the position and phase observables...

Decoherence, continuous observation, and quantum computing: A cavity QED model. (1995)
Journal Article
Pellizzari, T., Gardiner, S., Cirac, J., & Zoller, P. (1995). Decoherence, continuous observation, and quantum computing: A cavity QED model. Physical Review Letters, 75(21), 3788-3791. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.75.3788

We use the theory of continuous measurement to analyze the effects of decoherence on a realistic model of a quantum computer based on cavity QED. We show how decoherence affects the computation, and methods to prevent it.
