Description
Quantum Optics: An Introduction provides an accessible introduction to the subject at a level suitable for advanced undergraduate and Masters students in physics. The text is divided into four main parts, covering modern topics in both pure and applied quantum optics. The emphasis of this book is on developing intuitive physical understanding, with many derivations included where appropriate. It includes numerous illustrations, focusing on experimental observations of quantum optical phenomena, as well as worked examples and exercises with solutions. This makes it an ideal resource for students looking to build a strong foundation in the subject. Six appendices are also included to supplement the main material, providing additional support for readers.
