Lectures on Quantum Optics - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Develops the theoretical concepts of modern quantum optics, with emphasis on current research trends, for graduate students in physics as well as researchers who want to acquaint themselves with the ideas of quantum optics. Among the topics are canonical radiation-field quantization in inhomogeneous dielectrics; quantum states of the radiation field; phase operators and phase states; theory of photoelectric detection of light; spectral and homodyne detections; non-classical light; quantum field theory of leaky optical cavities; quantum theory of damping; theory of resonance fluorescence; and a single atom in a high- Q cavity. A basic knowledge of quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and classical statistics is assumed. Distributed in the US by VCH. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
