Single electron detection is an important task in quantum information processing. Quite generally, single electrons in a charged object can be detected by capacitively coupling a detector circuit to the object. In this talk, I describe how the quantum mechanics helps single electron detection in terms of sensitivity and efficiency. The concept of dephasing and information acquisition rates are introduced. In particular, I discuss the role of quantum interference [1, 2, 3] and entanglement [3, 4] for improving the sensitivity and efficiency of single charge detection.
