The second edition of Quantum Optics for Engineers: Quantum Entanglement is an updated and extended version of its first edition. New features include a transparent interferometric derivation of the physics for quantum entanglement devoid of mysteries and paradoxes. It also provides a utilitarian matrix version of quantum entanglement apt for engineering applications.
Features:
- Introduces quantum entanglement via the Dirac–Feynman interferometric principle, free of paradoxes.
- Provides a practical matrix version of quantum entanglement which is highly utilitarian and useful for engineers.
- Focuses on the physics relevant to quantum entanglement and is coherently and consistently presented via Dirac’s notation.
- Illustrates the interferometric quantum origin of fundamental optical principles such as diffraction, refraction, and reflection.
- Emphasizes mathematical transparency and extends on a pragmatic interpretation of quantum mechanics.
This book is written for advanced physics and engineering students, practicing engineers, and scientists seeking a workable-practical introduction to quantum optics and quantum entanglement.
Francisco Javier "Frank" Duarte is a laser physicist and author/editor of several books on tunable lasers and quantum optics. His research on physical optics, quantum optics, and laser development has won several awards. He has made numerous original contributions to tunable lasers, multiple-prism optics, quantum interferometry, and quantum entanglement. Dr. Duarte was elected Fellow of the Australian Institute of Physics in 1987 and Fellow of the Optical Society (Optica) in 1993. He has received the Engineering Excellence Award (1995), for the invention of the N-slit laser interferometer, and the David Richardson Medal (2016) for his seminal contributions to the physics of narrow-linewidth tunable lasers and the theory of multiple-prism arrays for linewidth narrowing and laser pulse compression.
