Summary
Experimental chapter that presents experimental devices that allow us to detect individual quantum systems and observe quantum jumps occurring at random times. Described: superconducting single photon detectors, detection of arrays of ions and atoms, the shelving technique that allows us to measure the quantum state of the single atom, state selective field ionization of single Rydberg atoms, detection of single molecules on a surface by confocal microscopy, articial atoms in circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED)
