This book is a thoroughly modern and highly pedagogical
graduate-level introduction to quantum optics, a subject which has
witnessed stunning developments in recent years and has come to
occupy a central role in the 'second quantum revolution'. The
reader is invited to explore the fundamental role that quantum
optics plays in the control and manipulation of quantum systems,
leading to ultracold atoms, circuit QED, quantum information
science, quantum optomechanics, and quantum metrology. The building
blocks of the subject are presented in a sequential fashion,
starting from the simplest physical situations before moving to
increasingly complicated ones. This pedagogically appealing
approach leads to quantum entanglement and measurement theory being
introduced early on and before more specialized topics such as
cavity QED or laser cooling. The final chapter illustrates the
power of scientific cross-fertilization by surveying cutting-edge
applications of quantum optics and optomechanics in gravitational
wave detection, tests of fundamental physics, searches for dark
matter, geophysical monitoring, and ultraprecise clocks. Complete
with worked examples and exercises, this book provides the reader
with enough background knowledge and understanding to follow the
current journal literature and begin producing their own original
research.
