Coherence and Statistics of Photons and Atoms

By Jan Perina

This title covers the problems of quantum electrodynamics in dispersive and absorbing media. All chapters are related to the development of contemporary quantum topics with important consequences for all of physics and its applications. Devoted to the developing subject of modern quantum optics, this text provides complete information about systems of interacting photons and atoms, based on quantum statistical properties of such systems. This is important from the physical point of view, as well as for new generations of quantum optical applications, e.g., in quantum cryptography, quantum computation, and quantum teleportation
