Bøger af Pierre Meystre

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.

With a new chapter on quantum entanglement and quantum information, this fourth edition of the brilliant work on quantum optics has been much updated. It still provides all the information necessary to understand and carry out research in laser physics and quantum optics.

Quantum mechanics does away with the distinction between particles and waves, and one of the more interesting implications of the wave/particle duality - the discovery that atoms may be manipulated in ways analogous to the manipulation of light with lenses and mirrors - has formed the basis for the relatively new field of atom optics.
