Description
This work presents the mathematical methods widely used by workers in the field of quantum optics. It deals with the physical assumptions which lead to the models and approximations employed, but the text is meant to give a firm grounding in those techniques needed to derive analytical solutions to problems. Based on teachings by the authors, most of the text has been tested on students. Dr Stephen M.
