Quantum Optics: An Introduction, 2nd Revised and Enlarged Edition |
| Werner Vogel; Dirk-Gunnar Welsch; Sascha Wallentowitz |
| This is the revised and supplemented edition of the acknowledged "Lectures on Quantum Optics" by W. Vogel and D.-G. Welsch. It offers theoretical concepts of quantum optics, with special emphasis on current research trends. Quantum-state reconstruction and laser-driven quantized motion of trapped atoms are new topics that are included in the revised edition. The rigorous development of quantum optics in the context of quantum field theory and the attention spent to details make the book valuable to graduate students as well as to researchers in related areas. From the contents: 1. Introduction; 2. Elements of quantum electrodynamics; 3. Quantum states of bosonic systems; 4. Phase-space representations; 5. Quantum theory of damping; 6. Photoelectric detection of light; 7. Quantum-state reconstruction; 8. Non-classical states; 9. Leaky optical cavities; 10. Theory of resonance fluorescence; 11. A single atom in a high-Q cavity; 12. Laser-driven quantized motion of a trapped atom
