Product Details
From the back cover: "Quantum Optics gives a comprehensive coverage of developments in quantum optics over the past twenty years [relative to published date 1994]. In the early chapters the formalism of quantum optics is elucidated and the main techniques are introduced. These are applied to the later chapters to problems such as squeezed states of light, resonance fluorescence, laser theory, quantum theory of four-wave mixing, quantum non-demolition measurements, Bell's inequalities, and atom optics. Experimental results are used to illustrate the theory throughout. This yields the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of experiment and theory in quantum optics in any textbooks.
From the Preface: "This text book originated out of a graduate course of lectures in Quantum Optics given at the University of Waikato and the University of Auckland."
NOTE: British spelling.
