The Quantum Theory of Light

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Provides an introduction to quantum optics, the study of optical effects that cannot be explained by classical theory. The main concern of this book is the theoretical background to the key experiments in quantum optics. It is meant for postgraduate students and research workers, as well as final-year undergraduates.
