The Quantum Theory of Light (Oxford Science Publications) 3rd Edition by Rodney Loudon | (PDF) Free Download

Description

This Third Edition, like its two predecessors, provides a detailed account of the basic theory needed to understand the properties of light and its interactions with atoms, in particular the many nonclassical effects that have now been observed in quantum-optical experiments. The earlier chapters describe the quantum mechanics of various optical processes, leading from the classical representation of the electromagnetic field to the quantum theory of light. The later chapters develop the theoretical descriptions of some of the key experiments in quantum optics. Over half of the material in this Third Edition is new. It includes topics that have come into prominence over the last two decades, such as the beamsplitter theory, squeezed light, two-photon interference, balanced homodyne detection, travelling-wave attenuation and amplification, quantum jumps, and the ranges of nonlinear optical processes important in the generation of nonclassical light. The book is written as a textbook, with the treatment as a whole appropriate for graduate or postgraduate students, while earlier chapters are also suitable for final-year undergraduates. Over 100 problems help to intensify the understanding of the material presented.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Authoritative, didactic and well organized

⭐A must have for anyone into quantum optics. It’s comprehensive, and covers a wide range of topics in the discipline. We used this in a quantum optics course to great effect.

⭐Simply an excellent book, both for teaching – and for reference.The clarity of the explanations – and the math – has kept editions of this book beside me for decades.

⭐The book is really nice, I highly recommend if you are in looking for fun and training for Olympiads and physics contest

⭐I kick myself for not having this book during my PhD. It’s really a fantastic book for anyone who needs anything to do with Quantum optics. I’d even generalize this as usual for folks in radio-astronomy, lasers, qubits etc.

⭐This is a decent book. I’d agree that it can be dry and focused on equations more than physics at times, but it offers a very balanced selection of topics, and clearer explanations than many physics books.I particularly like the progression from old quantum theory to semiclassical theory to the fully quantized theory. It emphasizes the useful aspects of each theory, in particular the usefulness of the old theory in terms of simplicity and accuracy in many situations. History may not always be the best approach to science, but it works if you emphasize the usefulness of simple models and how they follow from more sophisticated models.

⭐Superbly written if not a little technically challenging. Not suitable for undergraduate or MSc study.

⭐Great introduction to the subject. If you need entry level and logically structured description, this is the one to read.

⭐Il libro di seconda mano è stato tenuto molto bene.Per quanto riguarda i contenuti ottimi per un primo approccio professionale su interazioneradiazione materia.Product as described.

⭐Arrivato con 1 giorno di anticipo in condizioni perfette
