商品描述

Quantum Optics in Phase Space provides a concise introduction to the rapidly moving field of quantum optics from the point of view of phase space. Modern in style and didactically skillful, Quantum Optics in Phase Space prepares students for their own research by presenting detailed derivations, many illustrations and a large set of workable problems at the end of each chapter. Often, the theoretical treatments are accompanied by the corresponding experiments. An exhaustive list of references provides a guide to the literature. Quantum Optics in Phase Space also serves advanced researchers as a comprehensive reference book.

Starting with an extensive review of the experiments that define quantum optics and a brief summary of the foundations of quantum mechanics the author Wolfgang P. Schleich illustrates the properties of quantum states with the help of the Wigner phase space distribution function. His description of waves ala WKB connects semi-classical phase space with the Berry phase. These semi-classical techniques provide deeper insight into the timely topics of wave packet dynamics, fractional revivals and the Talbot effect.

Whereas the first half of the book deals with mechanical oscillators such as ions in a trap or atoms in a standing wave the second half addresses problems where the quantization of the radiation field is of importance. Such topics extensively discussed include optical interferometry, the atom-field interaction, quantum state preparation and measurement, entanglement, decoherence, the one-atom maser and atom optics in quantized light fields.

Quantum Optics in Phase Space presents the subject of quantum optics as transparently as possible. Giving wide-ranging references, it enables students to study and solve problems with modern scientific literature. The result is a remarkably concise yet comprehensive and accessible text- and reference book - an inspiring source of information and insight for students, teachers and researchers alike.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《相位空間中的量子光學》提供了一個簡明的介紹,從相位空間的角度來看,關於快速發展的量子光學領域。《相位空間中的量子光學》以現代風格和教學技巧為特點,通過提供詳細的推導、許多插圖和每章末尾的大量可行問題,為學生們準備進行自己的研究。通常,理論處理與相應的實驗相伴而行。詳盡的參考文獻清單提供了文獻指南。《相位空間中的量子光學》也作為一本全面的參考書,為高級研究人員提供服務。

從廣泛回顧定義量子光學的實驗和簡要概述量子力學基礎開始,作者Wolfgang P. Schleich通過Wigner相位空間分布函數的幫助,說明了量子態的性質。他將WKB波描述與貝里相連接起來,將半經典相位空間與貝里相關聯起來。這些半經典技術提供了對波包動力學、分數復蘇和塔爾波效應等時下熱門話題的更深入的洞察。

書籍的前半部分涉及機械振子,如陷阱中的離子或站立波中的原子,而後半部分則涉及輻射場的量子化問題。這些廣泛討論的主題包括光學干涉、原子-場相互作用、量子態準備和測量、纏結、退相干、單原子微波激射器和量子光場中的原子光學。

《相位空間中的量子光學》以盡可能透明的方式呈現了量子光學的主題。通過提供廣泛的參考文獻,它使學生能夠研究和解決現代科學文獻中的問題。結果是一本非常簡潔但全面且易於理解的教材和參考書籍,為學生、教師和研究人員提供了信息和洞察的靈感來源。
