Rezensionen

"The alliance between the leading experimentalist Bowen and the prominent theoretician Milburn has produced a substantial text which deserves wide usage...A very strong feature of the book is the examples of practical devices which have been fabricated which may be used to test theoretical ideas and thence to devise novel applications which in turn may require the design of new devices. The co-habitation of such practical aspects with the elegantly presented underlying quantum theory ensures that the reader is aware that quantum optomechanics is a growing reality.
Underlying the future opportunities which can be expected to result from further effort in this field, the authors treat the largely unexplored topic of opto-mechanical synchronisation which is highly pertinent to the development and use of arrays of opto-mechanical systems...This is a stimulating text which offers direct entry into a field rich with both theoretical and experimental challenges."
-K. Alan Shore, Bangor University, School of Electronic Engineering, in Contemporary Physics (Vol. 57, No. 4)

"This is the first graduate-level textbook that deals with the theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum optomechanics-i.e., the quantum effects of the mechanical effects of light...This is a very clearly written book about a subject that is difficult to describe. It is a must-have for anyone studying the quantum effects of light."
-Mircea Dragoman, National Research Institute in Microtechnology, Voluntari, Romania (Optics & Photonics News)

"This is a thorough and thoughtful book. It will be indispensable to people working on optomechanics and its many hybrids. It provides clear and well-written discussions of many topics in quantum optomechanics. It also provides clear and well-written descriptions of how to translate broad concepts from quantum optics into very specific realizations in optomechanical systems."
-Jack Harris
