Quantum Optics

Autor Girish S. Agarwal
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 noi 2012
In the last decade many important advances have taken place in the field of quantum optics, with numerous potential applications. Ideal for graduate courses on quantum optics, this textbook provides an up-to-date account of the basic principles of the subject. Focusing on applications of quantum optics, the textbook covers recent developments such as engineering of quantum states, quantum optics on a chip, nano-mechanical mirrors, quantum entanglement, quantum metrology, spin squeezing, control of decoherence and many other key topics. Readers are guided through the principles of quantum optics and their uses in a wide variety of areas including quantum information science and quantum mechanics. The textbook features end-of-chapter exercises with solutions available for instructors at www.cambridge.org/9781107006409. It is invaluable to both graduate students and researchers in physics and photonics, quantum information science and quantum communications.

Recenzii

'The reader will find this book to be an excellent, modern review of the field of quantum optics and its applications. It is written for graduate students with a strong background in quantum mechanics and classical electrodynamics. If you studied quantum optics more than a decade ago, it is a must-read to refresh your knowledge of this rapidly advancing field. Early on, the author presents quantized radiation fields and later moves to the interactions of radiation and matter. Its value as a textbook is enhanced by the inclusion of exercises and solutions, references and an index. The inexperienced reader may find the concise exposition somewhat daunting, but those with more advanced knowledge will find exciting modern developments that can be incorporated into new devices and techniques.' Barry R. Masters, Optics and Photonics News (osa-opn.org)
'The amount of material the author covers is breathtaking. There is hardly any subject in modern quantum optics that is not covered in this book. His language is clear and precise, and the text is enriched with many figures and graphs of good quality. Working through this book will be the ideal preparation to start with a research project in the field. For experimental physicists who hope to get a better theoretical understanding of their laboratory work, this book will definitely be a challenge (though certainly not of the kind that cannot be mastered). I recommend it to anyone with a serious interest in one of the most fascinating branches of modern physics.' Thomas Peters, Contemporary Physics
