Classical and Quantum Optics

Classical and Quantum Optics is the first text to cover classical and quantum optics as a single subject with the premise that genuine understanding of light requires mastery of both fields. It addresses all aspects of light equally, including geometric optics, wave optics, electromagnetic optics, and quantum optics. This timely book supplies the tools needed to fully explore the behavior of light.

Classical and Quantum Optics:

• Approaches the topic from a conceptual perspective without assuming the reader’s knowledge
• Includes relatively little math, making it ideal for students in applied sciences and engineering
• Starts with well-established hypotheses and builds on them to explain physical effects and experimental observations

Classical and Quantum Optics: is suitable for emerging researchers and professionals in optics, natural sciences, engineering, and interdisciplinary fields, as well as students in physics, applied sciences, and engineering.
