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 mode

Starting from first principles, this reference treats the theoretical aspects of quantum optics. It develops a unified approach for determining the dynamics of

This is the first of a two-volume presentation on current research problems in quantum optics, and will serve as a standard reference in the field for many year

This second volume of Howard Carmichael’s work continues the development of the methods used in quantum optics to treat open quantum systems and their fluctua

Quantum Optics gives a comprehensive coverage of developments in quantum optics over the past twenty years. In the early chapters the formalism of quantum optic
