Methods in theoretical quantum optics is aimed at those readers who already have some knowledge of mathematical methods and have also been introduced to the basic ideas if quantum optics. This book is ideal for students who have already explored the basics of the quantum theory of light and are seeking to acquire the mathematical skills used in real problems. This book is not primarily about the physics of quantum optics, but rather presents the mathematical methods widely used by workers in this field. There is no comparable book which covers either the range or the depth of mathematical techniques.
Industry Reviews
`'The reader will find here a very clear presentation of material not readily found elsewhere. Postgraduate students of quantum optics will find this work to be of the greatest utility. It sets out to be genuinely helpful to students, with sufficient material provided at each step of a calculation to enable an inexperienced reader to fully understand the derivation...Experienced researchers will find that this text is a most convenient handbook of techniques, and will want it close to their elbow.'' S. Swain, Contemporary Physics `'...an authoritative account of the key material, something which will not date easily and will be welcomed for many years by new students of this field. I strongly recommend it to novices and experts alike.' ' P. Knight, Journal of Modern Optics `'...a model of clarity and completeness.'' J.M. Raimond, Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris `'...a very good text...'' V. Vedral, Imperial College, London `'...exceptionally clearly written.'' K. Burnett, University of Oxford
