In last years increasing attention has been again devoted to
interpretations of quantum theory. In the same time interesting
quantum optical experiments have been performed using nonlinear
optical processes, in particular frequency down conversion, which
provided new information about nature of a photon on the basis of
interference and correlation (coincidence) phenomena. Such
single-photon and twin-photon effects of quantum optics provide new
point of view of interpretations of quantum theory and new tests of
its principles. The purpose of this book is to discuss these
questions. To follow this goal we give brief reviews of principles
of quantum theory and of quantum theory of measurement. As a
fundamental theoretical tool the coherent state technique is
adopted based on a general algebraic treatment, including the de
scription of interaction of radiation and matter. Typical quantum
behaviour of physical systems is exhibited by nonclassical optical
phenomena, which can be examined using photon interferences and
correlations. These phenomena are closely related to violation of
various classical inequalities and Bell's in equalities. The most
important part of this book discusses quantum optical experiments
supporting quantum theory. This book may be considered as a
continuation of previous monographs by one of the authors on
Coherence of Light (Van Nostrand Reinhold, London 1972, second
edition D. Reidel, Dordrecht 1985) and on Quantum Statistics of
Linear and Nonlinear Optical Phenomena (D. Reidel, Dordrecht 1984,
second edition Kluwer, Dordrecht 1991), which may serve as a
preparation for reading this book."
