This established textbook provides an accessible but comprehensive
introduction to the quantum nature of light and its interaction
with matter. The field of quantum optics is covered with clarity
and depth, from the underlying theoretical framework of field
quantization, atom–field interactions, and quantum coherence
theory, to important and modern applications at the forefront of
current research such as quantum interferometry, squeezed light,
quantum entanglement, cavity quantum electrodynamics, laser-cooled
trapped ions, and quantum information processing. The text is
suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and would
be an ideal main text for a course on quantum optics. This
long-awaited second edition builds upon the success of the first
edition, including many new developments in the field, particularly
in the area of quantum state engineering. Additional homework
problems have been added, and content from the first edition has
been updated and clarified throughout.
