Theoretical Optics - an Introduction: An Introduction - Tapa dura

Acerca del autor

Hartmann Romer was born in Wuppertal, Germany, in 1943. In 1970 he received his doctorate from the University of Bonn, where he also completed his habilitation. He held Postdoc positions at the Weizmann Institute of Science and at CERN in Geneva. He has been full professor for Theoretical Physics in Freiburg since 1979. His research interests include particle theory and quantum field theory, in particular geometrical and topological methods: symplectic geometry, quantization theory, classical limit and short wave asymptotics.

De la contraportada

Starting from basic electrodynamics. this volume Provides a solid, yet concise introduction to theoretical optic,s containing topics such as nonlinear optics, light-matter interaction, and modern topics in quantum optics, including entanglement, cryptography, and quantum computation.
