Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Oversized paperback, reprint with corrections, xiii + 317 pages, NOT ex-library. Traces of erased pencil notations, some grubby marks from reading. Faint grubby marks on the lower outer page edges externally. Straight uncreased spine. -- A university textbook designed to bridge the gap between undergraduate quantum mechanics and modern research. The book is structured into 11 chapters plus four technical appendices, covering: Field Quantization, Coherent States, Emission and Absorption of Radiation by Atoms, Quantum Coherence Functions, Beam Splitters and Interferometers, Nonclassical Light, Dissipative Interactions and Decoherence, Optical Tests of Quantum Mechanics, Experiments in Cavity QED and with Trapped Ions, Applications of Entanglement (Heisenberg-Limited Interferometry and Quantum Information Processing). Appendices: 1. The Density Operator, Entangled States, the Schmidt Decomposition, and the von Neumann Entropy; 2. Quantum Measurement Theory; 3. Derivation of the Effective Hamiltonian for Dispersive (Far off-Resonant) Interactions; 4. Nonlinear Optics and Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion. --Often recommended as a less comprehensive but highly derivations-focused alternative to texts like Grynberg or Mandel and Wolf. Primarily used for senior undergraduate and postgraduate modules in Quantum Optics. The text emphasises clear, step-by-step derivations balanced with physical insight and includes problem sets for self-study. It avoids overly dense mathematical formalism in favour of clear physical intuition, tying theoretical quantum mechanics to real-world laboratory experiments.…

Hardback. Condition: New. 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, atom-field 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. …
