This textbook provides a physical understanding of what photons are
and of their properties and applications. Special emphasis is made
in the text to entangled photon pairs which exhibit quantum
mechanical correlations over manifestly macroscopic distances. Such
photon pairs make possible such exciting techniques as
teleportation and quantum cryptography, as well as the physical
realisation of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen type experiments. In
addition, nonclassical properties of light, such as photon
antibunching and squeezing, as well as quantum phase measurement
and optical tomography are discussed. The author describes relevant
experiments and elucidates the physical ideas behind them. This
book will be of interest to undergraduates and graduate students
studying optics, and to any physicist with an interest in the
mysteries of the photon and exciting modern work in quantum
cryptography and teleportation.
