Introductory Quantum Optics

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Christopher C. Gerry Peter L. Knight

This established textbook provides an accessible but comprehensive introduction to the quantum nature of light and its interaction with matter. The field of quantum optics is covered with clarity and depth, from the underlying theoretical framework of field quantization, atomfield interactions, and quantum coherence theory, to important and modern applications at the forefront of current research such as quantum interferometry, squeezed light, quantum entanglement, cavity quantum electrodynamics, laser-cooled trapped ions, and quantum information processing. The text is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and would be an ideal main text for a course on quantum optics. This long-awaited second edition builds upon the success of the first edition, including many new developments in the field, particularly in the area of quantum state engineering. Additional homework problems have been added, and content from the first edition has been updated and clarified throughout. See more

About Christopher C. GerryPeter L. Knight

Christopher C. Gerry is Professor of Physics at Lehman College City University of New York. He was one of the first to exploit the use of group theoretical methods in quantum optics and is a highly respected researcher and lecturer in the field. He has written well-regarded books both for advanced students and researchers and for a more general audience. Sir Peter L. Knight FRS is Emeritus Professor at Imperial College London a past president of the Institute of Physics 2004 President of the Optical Society of America Chair of the UK National Quantum Technology Programme Strategy Advisory Board and Chair of the Quantum Metrology Institute at the National Physical Laboratory. His research centers on quantum technology and quantum optics and he has been the recipient of several prestigious awards including the Thomas Young Medal and Glazebrook Medal of the Institute of Physics Optica's Frederic Ives Medal and Herbert Walther Award the Royal Medal of the Royal Society and the Faraday Medal of the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
