Quantum Theory of Light

From Book News, Inc.
A detailed account of the basic theory needed to understand the quantum properties of light, bridging the gap between standard quantum mechanics, electromagnetic theory, and statistical mechanics as taught at the undergraduate level and the theory needed to explain experiments in quantum optics. Much of the material is based on lecture courses taught by the author (electronic systems engineering, U. of Essex) to final-year undergraduates, first-year graduate students, and more advanced postgraduates and research workers. This latest edition provides treatments of the theory that include some shortcuts and omit more advanced derivations.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
