Synopsis

Proceedings of a workshop held January 1991, in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, encompass a wide range of topics from fundamental problems in quantum mechanics to applications in optical technology. A major emphasis is on measurements made possible by recent advances in the generation and detection of light with low quantum noise. These advances have occ
