An Open Systems Approach to Quantum Optics: Lectures Presented at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles, October 28 to November 4, 1991: v. 418 (Lecture Notes in Physics) - Tapa dura
Sinopsis
This text develops the theory of quantum light sources around operator master equations and Heisenberg-picture based relationships between source operators and the quantum fields radiated by the source. It reviews the standard quantum statistical methods used to analyze master equations and compute statistical properties of the fields radiated by a source. The limitations of these methods for sources of non-classical light are discussed. Using the theory of photoelectric detection as an interface, the book develops a new way of describing a quantum source of light in which the density operator is replaced by a stochastic wave function. This new theory, quantum trajectory theory, is illustrated by examples of sources that produce anti-bunched and squeezed light. The theory is also applied to problems from cavity quantum electrodynamics where standard linear noise theory is not valid.

Reseña del editor
This volume contains ten lectures presented in the series ULB Lectures in Nonlinear Optics at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles during the period October 28 to November 4, 1991. A large part of the first six lectures is taken from material prepared for a book of somewhat larger scope which will be published,by Springer under the title Quantum Statistical Methods in Quantum Optics. The principal reason for the early publication of the present volume concerns the material contained in the last four lectures. Here I have put together, in a more or less systematic way, some ideas about the use of stochastic wavefunctions in the theory of open quantum optical systems. These ideas were developed with the help of two of my students, Murray Wolinsky and Liguang Tian, over a period of approximately two years. They are built on a foundation laid down in a paper written with Surendra Singh, Reeta Vyas, and Perry Rice on waiting-time distributions and wavefunction collapse in resonance fluorescence [Phys. Rev. A, 39, 1200 (1989)]. The ULB lecture notes contain my first serious atte~pt to give a complete account of the ideas and their potential applications. I am grateful to Professor Paul Mandel who, through his invitation to give the lectures, stimulated me to organize something useful out of work that may, otherwise, have waited considerably longer to be brought together.
