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 IN

"Professor Schleich has written an excellent book covering Quantum Optics in a fashion that nicely compliments other works in this area. A wide community will benefit from this fine book, ranging from students entering the field to established researchers. I have already put it to good use in my laboratory and heartily recommend it." Prof. Dr. H. Jeff Kimble, Caltech, USA "[The author] did really an exceptional job. This book will be certainly very useful to the community." Prof. Dr. Lugiato Luigi, Universita dell'Insubria, Como, Italy "... a really well-done moograph which will be read and used for years." Prof. Dr. P.L. Knight, Fellow of Royal Society Imperial College, London, UK "A new contribution to physics travel literature, and it deserves praise as a guidebook? Suitable for almost any physicist? Is there anything for the student that should be here that is not? I doubt it. My strong recommendation is to sign on and enjoy the tour." Physics Today, August 2002
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.
