Sinopse

Solutions manual available on request from the OUP website Modern text on quantum optics for advanced undergraduate students Explanations based primarily on intuitive physical understanding rather than mathematical derivations. Strong emphasis on experimental demonstrations of quantum optical phenomena, in both atomic and condensed matter physics. Broad scope of topics encompassing photon statistics, Hanbury Brown-Twiss experiments, squeezed light, Rabi oscillations, cavity QED, laser cooling, Bose-Einstein condensation, quantum information processing, quantum cryptography, quantum computing, entangled states, quantum teleportation. Numerous worked examples included, together with 10-15 exercises per chapter. Background chapters provided covering prior knowledge that has been assumed in revision format. Six appendices included to supplement the main text.
