Quantum Optics Including Noise Reduction, Trapped Ions, Quantum Trajectories, and Decoherence
Quantum Optics gives a very broad coverage of basic laser-related phenomena that allow scientists and engineers to carry out research in quantum optics and laser physics. It covers the quantization of the electromagnetic field, quantum theory of coherence, atom-field interaction models, resonance fl...
