商品描述

This book is a thoroughly modern and highly pedagogical graduate-level introduction to quantum optics, a subject which has witnessed stunning developments in recent years and has come to occupy a central role in the 'second quantum revolution'. The reader is invited to explore the fundamental role that quantum optics plays in the control and manipulation of quantum systems, leading to ultracold atoms, circuit QED, quantum information science, quantum optomechanics, and quantum metrology. The building blocks of the subject are presented in a sequential fashion, starting from the simplest physical situations before moving to increasingly complicated ones. This pedagogically appealing approach leads to quantum entanglement and measurement theory being introduced early on and before more specialized topics such as cavity QED or laser cooling. The final chapter illustrates the power of scientific cross-fertilization by surveying cutting-edge applications of quantum optics and optomechanics in gravitational wave detection, tests of fundamental physics, searches for dark matter, geophysical monitoring, and ultraprecise clocks. Complete with worked examples and exercises, this book provides the reader with enough background knowledge and understanding to follow the current journal literature and begin producing their own original research.

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書是一本內容十分現代且極具教學性的研究所程度量子光學導論。量子光學近年來取得了驚人的發展，並已成為「第二次量子革命」的核心領域。本書將帶領讀者探索量子光學在控制與操縱量子系統中所扮演的根本角色，進而理解超冷原子、電路量子電動力學（circuit QED）、量子資訊科學、量子光機械學（quantum optomechanics）以及量子計量學等主題。

本書依序介紹本領域的基本組成，先從最簡單的物理情境開始，再逐步深入日益複雜的情況。這種具有教學吸引力的編排方式，使量子糾纏與測量理論能在早期便獲得介紹，並先於腔量子電動力學（cavity QED）或雷射冷卻等專門主題。最後一章透過概述量子光學與光機械學在重力波偵測、基礎物理學實驗、暗物質搜尋、地球物理監測以及超高精度時鐘等領域的尖端應用，展現科學跨領域融合的力量。

本書完整收錄解題範例與習題，為讀者提供足夠的背景知識與理解基礎，使其能夠閱讀當前的學術期刊文獻，並開始進行原創研究。

作者簡介

Pierre Meystre obtained his Physics Diploma and PhD from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne and his Habilitation in Theoretical Physics from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. He joined the Max-Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in 1977, following a postdoctoral position at the University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences. He returned to Tucson in 1986, where he is now emeritus Regents Professor of Physics and Optical Sciences. He also served as Lead Editor of Physical Review Letters and as Editor in Chief of the American Physical Society. His research interests include theoretical quantum optics, ultracold science, and quantum optomechanics. He has published well over 300 papers, and is the author of the text "Elements of Quantum Optics", now in its 4th edition, together with Murray Sargent III, and of the monograph "Atom Optics." He was a recipient of the Humboldt Foundation Research Prize for Senior US Scientists, the R. W. Wood Prize of the Optical Society of America, and the Willis E. Lamb Award for Laser Science and Quantum Optics. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the Optical Society of America, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Honorary Professor at East China Normal University.
