Description

Most previous texts on quantum optics have been written primarily for the graduate student market at PhD level and above. Quantum optics: an introduction aims to introduce a wide range of topics at a lower level suitable for advanced undergraduate and masters level students in physics. The text is divided into four main parts, covering modern topics in both pure and applied quantum optics: I Introduction and background material. II. Photons. III. Atom-photon interactions. IV. Quantum information processing. The emphasis of the subject development is on intuitive physical understanding rather than mathematical arguments, although many derivations are included where appropriate. The text includes numerous illustrations, with a particular emphasis on the experimental observations of quantum optical phenomena. Each chapter includes worked examples, together with 10-15 exercises with solutions. Six appendices are included to supplement the main subject material.

描述

大多數關於量子光學的先前文獻主要針對博士學位及以上的研究生市場而撰寫。《量子光學:入門》旨在以更低的水平介紹一系列主題,適合物理學高年級本科生和碩士生。該書分為四個主要部分,涵蓋純量子光學和應用量子光學的現代主題:I. 簡介和背景材料。II. 光子。III. 原子-光子相互作用。IV. 量子信息處理。主題發展的重點在於直觀的物理理解,而不是數學論證,儘管在適當的情況下包含了許多推導。該書包含了大量插圖,特別強調了量子光學現象的實驗觀察。每章包含了例題,以及10-15個帶解答的練習題。附錄中還包括了六個補充主題材料。
