Mathematical Methods of Quantum Optics Hardcover - 2001
by Ravinder R. Puri
The first coherent book to present the mathematical structure of quantum optics, Puri provides an accessible introduction to their mathematical methods. He reveals how given systems of atoms are mathematically modeled and offers simple methods for solving a variety of linear and nonlinear master equations.
First line
Quantum optics is the quantum theory of interaction of the electromagnetic field with matter.
From the rear cover
This book provides an accessible introduction to the mathematical methods of quantum optics. Starting from first principles, it reveals how a given system of atoms and a field is mathematically modelled. The method of eigenfunction expansion and the Lie algebraic method for solving equations are outlined. Analytically exactly solvable classes of equations are identified. The text also discusses consequences of Lie algebraic properties of Hamiltonians, such as the classification of their states as coherent, classical or non-classical based on the generalized uncertainty relation and the concept of quasiprobability distributions. A unified approach is developed for determining the dynamics of a two-level and a three-level atom interacting with combinations of quantized fields under certain conditions. Simple methods for solving a variety of linear and nonlinear dissipative master equations are given. The book will be valuable to newcomers to the field and to experimentalists in quantum optics.
