Quantum optics / Marlan O. Scully and M. Suhail Zubairy.
Scully, Marlan O. (Marlan Orvil), 1939-| Call Number | 535 |
| Author | Scully, Marlan O. 1939- author. |
| Title | Quantum optics / Marlan O. Scully and M. Suhail Zubairy. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xxi, 630 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Summary | The field of quantum optics has witnessed significant theoretical and experimental developments in recent years. This book provides an in-depth and wide-ranging introduction to the subject, emphasising throughout the basic principles and their applications. The book begins by developing the basic tools of quantum optics, and goes on to show the application of these tools in a variety of quantum optical systems, including lasing without inversion, squeezed states and atom optics. The final four chapters are devoted to a discussion of quantum optical tests of the foundations of quantum mechanics, and to particular aspects of measurement theory. Assuming only a background of standard quantum mechanics and electromagnetic theory, and containing many problems and references, this book will be invaluable to graduate students of quantum optics, as well as to researchers in this field. |
