By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: LONDON CAMBRIDGE 1997Description: 656PISBN:
  • 9780521435956
DDC classification:
  • 535.15 SCU
Contents:
1. Quantum theory of radiation 2. Coherent and squeezed states of the radiation field 3. Incoherent states of the radiation field 4. Field–field and photon-photon correlation interferometry 5. Atom–field interaction – semiclassical theory 6. Atom–field interaction – quantum theory 7. Lasing without inversion and other effects of atomic coherence and interference 8. Quantum theory of damping – density operator and wave function approach 9. Quantum theory of damping – Heisenberg–Langevin approach 10. Resonance fluorescence 11. Quantum theory of laser - density operator approach 12. Quantum theory of laser – Heisenberg–Langevin approach 13. Theory of the micromaser 14. Correlated emission laser: concept, theory and analysis 15. Phase sensitivity in quantum optical systems: applications 16. Squeezing via non-linear optical processes 17. Atom optics 18. The EPR paradox, hidden variables and Bell's Theorem 19. Quantum non-demolition measurements 20. Quantum optical tests of complementarity 21. Two-photon interferometry and the quantum measurement problem.
Summary: The field of quantum optics has witnessed significant theoretical and experimental developments in recent years. This book provides an in-depth and wide-ranging introduction to the subject, emphasising throughout the basic principles and their applications. The book begins by developing the basic tools of quantum optics, and goes on to show the application of these tools in a variety of quantum optical systems, including lasing without inversion, squeezed states and atom optics. The final four chapters are devoted to a discussion of quantum optical tests of the foundations of quantum mechanics, and to particular aspects of measurement theory. Assuming only a background of standard quantum mechanics and electromagnetic theory, and containing many problems and references, this book will be invaluable to graduate students of quantum optics, as well as to researchers in this field.
