Contents:
Quantisation of the Electromagnetic Field -- Coherence Properties of the Electromagnetic Field -- Representations of the Electromagnetic Field -- Quantum Phenomena in Simple Systems in Nonlinear Optics -- Stochastic Methods -- Input–Output Formulation of Optical Cavities -- Generation and Applications of Squeezed Light -- Nonlinear Quantum Dissipative Systems -- Interaction of Radiation with Atoms -- CQED -- Quantum Theory of the Laser -- Bells Inequalities in Quantum Optics -- Quantum Nondemolition Measurements -- Quantum Coherence and Measurement Theory -- Quantum Information -- Ion Traps -- Light Forces -- Bose-Einstein Condensation.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: Quantum Optics gives a comprehensive coverage of developments in quantum optics over the past years. In the early chapters the formalism of quantum optics is elucidated and the main techniques are introduced. These are applied in 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 textbook. More than 40 exercises helps readers test their understanding and provide practice in quantitative problem solving.
