About the Book
The book gives a broad coverage of the basic elements necessary to understand and carry out research in quantum optics. It presents a variety of theoretical tools and important results for two-level and semiconductor media, many of which could only be found in the original literature of in specialized monographs up to now. The text reveals the close connection between many seemingly unrelated topics.The book "Quantum Optics" has been written to meet the requirement of the degree and post graduate students. The subject matter has been discussed in such a simple way that the students will find no difficult to understand it. Most of the examples given in the book have been selected from various university examination papers and the book cover the syllabus of almost all the universities.
Contents: 1. Introduction, 2. Quantum: Fundamentals and Optics, 3. Quantum Mechanics, 4. Quantization of the Electromagnetic Field, 5. Coherence Properties of the Electromagnetic Field, 6. Photons.
Brice Scott is a Noble Foundation Chair and Professor of Optical Physics. In this volume, Brice Scott includes new chapters on atom optics and cavity quantum electrodynamics, as well as expanded discussion of quantum mechanics, system-reservoir interactions and second quantization. A recognized leader in the field of theoretical quantum optics, he is a fellow of the National Society, and has won several awards, including the Prize from the Optical Society. He designed this edition to upper-level undergraduates taking courses in quantum optics who have already taken a course in quantum mechanics, and for first- and second- year graduate students. He has written more than 64 publications, including books, academic and professional articles on Quantum Optics and other subject of physics.
