Experiments with Generalized Quantum Measurements and Entangled Photon Pairs

This thesis describes a linear-optical device for performing generalized quantum measurements on quantum bits (qubits) encoded in photon polarization, the implementation of said device, and its use in two diff erent but related experiments. The device works by coupling the polarization degree of fre...
