This book presents quantum phononics as an exciting new field of
research, and introduces readers to the quantum nature of phonons
and their application to quantum technologies. Both the theory of
and recent experiments in "quantum phononics," involving e.g.
coherent phonons, phonon squeezing, coherent control, and phonon
quantum technologies, are presented. The theoretical background of
the generation and detection of phonons is described in a way that
will be easy to understand for graduate students and experimental
scientists who are newcomers to the field. Moreover, the book
focuses on coherent phonons produced by ultrafast laser pulses,
which can be used for the coherent control of atomic motions in
solids and phase transformation. The laser-matter interaction is
treated using a density matrix formalism of the time-dependent
Schroeedinger equation. In addition, the third-order nonlinear
optical response of condensed matter is also described.
