Mathematical Devices for Optical Sciences

By Young S. Kim, Sibel Baskal Baykal, Marilyn E. Noz

Book Overview

Modern optics is the physics of two-by-two matrices and harmonic oscillators. The one- and two-photon coherent states are based on the mathematics of harmonic oscillators. This comprehensive book examines the mathematical details of how two-by-two matrices, Wigner functions and the Lorentz group can be implemented in classical and quantum optics.
