{"product_id":"the-quantum-theory-of-light-9780198501763","title":"The Quantum Theory of Light","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\u003cbr\u003echapters 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\u003cbr\u003ematerial 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\u003cbr\u003enonlinear 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\u003cbr\u003eintensify the understanding of the material presented. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo request a copy of the Solutions Manual, visit: http: \/\/global.oup.com\/uk\/academic\/physics\/admin\/solutions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rodney Loudon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/07\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.65w x 0.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198501763\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2001 pg. 54\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39937634107507,"sku":"9.7802E+12","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_f5179b89-05b5-44bd-ae68-0489a7adcc32.jpg?v=1647994558","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-quantum-theory-of-light-9780198501763","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
