Grynberg, Gilbert| Call Number | 535.15 |
| Author | Grynberg, Gilbert, author. |
| Title | Introduction to quantum optics : from the semi-classical approach to quantized light / Gilbert Grynberg, Alain Aspect, Claude Fabre ; with a foreword by Claude Cohen-Tannoudji. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xxix, 665 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Summary | Covering a number of important subjects in quantum optics, this textbook is an excellent introduction for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, familiarizing readers with the basic concepts and formalism as well as the most recent advances. The first part of the textbook covers the semi-classical approach where matter is quantized, but light is not. It describes significant phenomena in quantum optics, including the principles of lasers. The second part is devoted to the full quantum description of light and its interaction with matter, covering topics such as spontaneous emission, and classical and non-classical states of light. An overview of photon entanglement and applications to quantum information is also given. In the third part, non-linear optics and laser cooling of atoms are presented, where using both approaches allows for a comprehensive description. Each chapter describes basic concepts in detail, and more specific concepts and phenomena are presented in 'complements'. |
| Added Author | Aspect, Alain, author. Fabre, Claude, 1951- author. |
