Mathematical Devices for Optical Sciences

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Modern optics is the physics of two-by-two matrices and harmonic oscillators. The one- and two-photon coherent states are based on the mathematics of harmonic oscillators. This comprehensive book examines the mathematical details of how two-by-two matrices, Wigner functions and the Lorentz group can be implemented in classical and quantum optics.

Autorenporträt

Sibel Baskal is a physics professor at the Middle East Technical University. Her research interests extend to current problems in classical field theories, mostly on alternative approaches to Einstein's gravity. She has published more than 30 peer-reviewed papers and is the co-author of two books with Young S Kim and Marilyn E Noz.

Young S Kim graduated from Princeton University in 1961 and has been a faculty member of the University of Maryland since 1962. As a well-respected and learned physicist, he has published numerous works throughout his extensive career and continues to work closely with pupils and colleagues as well as continuing his own research in particle theory, quantum mechanics and further contents of Einstein's work.

Marilyn E Noz is a professor emerita in the Department of Radiology at the NYU School of Medicine. Over more than 40 years, she has collaborated with Kim on relativistic quantum mechanics using two-by-two matrices, harmonics oscillators and the Lorentz group. She has contributed to more than 40 peer-reviewed journal articles in elementary particle physics and optics. She has also written three books with Kim and two books with Kim and Baskal, and continues to do research in elementary particle physics and quantum optics.
