Description
This work presents the mathematical methods widely used by workers in the field of quantum optics. It deals with the physical assumptions which lead to the models and approximations employed, but the text is meant to give a firm grounding in those techniques needed to derive analytical solutions to problems. Based on teachings by the authors, most of the text has been tested on students.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
⭐I find this book really excellent. It gives a masterlywritten introduction to all the most fundamental mathematicalmethods in quantum optics. The concepts are introduced verycarefully, all the passages are explained in full detail, andthe discussion is very thorough throghout the book.The authors gradually and clearly introduce the mainmathematical objects always relating them to basicinteractions and physical situations.Special care is dedicated to the discussion of the basicquantum states, number, thermal, coherent and squeezed.Atomic coherent states and multimode extensions are discussedas well. In each instance, simple Hamiltonian modelsgiving rise to the fundamental quantum states areintroduced and analysed in detail; among others,I find excellent the detailed analysis devoted to the Jaynes–Cummings model, the beam splitter,and the squeezing Hamiltonian.Quite a substantial part of the book is dedicatedto the discussion of the statistical properties of theelectromagnetic field, in particular thecharacteristic functionsand their associated quasiprobability distributions.I believe that this book will be very useful both asan introductory textbook for graduate and advancedundergraduate students, as well as a reference bookfor professionals working in the field of quantum opticsand basic quantum mechanics.
