Quantum Optics: An Introduction

by Mark Fox
Quantum Optics: An Introduction
Quantum Optics: An Introduction

Quantum optics made intuitive and approachable

This feels built for the physics student who wants quantum optics without being thrown straight into PhD-level abstraction. It guides you from photons and atom-light interactions to quantum information, while keeping the focus on physical insight and real experiments. Readers would probably love how it makes a notoriously difficult subject feel structured, visual, and actually learnable.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Condition guide

Book Condition Guide

Books in Like New Condition

This book may contain very minor cosmetic defects, but it is in pristine condition. There should be no yellowing, no foxing, no water damage, and no annotations of any kind on the cover and the pages. For paperbacks, there should not be any crease marks on the spine. This book is good as new — lucky you!

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Very Good Condition

This book has been used, but it is still in a clean condition. There should be no foxing or annotations of any kind on the inner pages, but a sparse amount may be present on the cover, title pages, or outside edges of the book. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be light crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

This is a well-read book, which means that the previous owner probably really enjoyed it! The cover and pages may include moderate foxing and annotations, but the text is not obscured and still readable. Moderate cosmetic defects and minor water damage may be present on the edges of the book. For paperbacks, there may be multiple crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

Most texts on quantum optics are written for graduate students at PhD level and above. Quantum Optics: An Introduction aims to present a wide range of topics at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates and master's students in physics. The text is divided into four parts: I. Introduction and background; II. Photons; III. Atom–photon interactions; IV. Quantum information processing. The emphasis is on intuitive physical understanding rather than heavy mathematics, although many derivations are included where appropriate. The book includes numerous illustrations and emphasizes experimental observations of quantum optical phenomena. Each chapter includes worked examples and 10–15 exercises with solutions. Six appendices supplement the main subject material. To request a copy of the Solutions Manual.
