Coherent Dynamics of Complex Quantum Systems
A large number of modern problems in physics, chemistry, and quantum electronics require a consideration of population dynamics in complex multilevel quantum systems. The purpose of this book is to provide a systematic treatment of these questions a

Preface
This book is an attempt to put together a large number of similar problems that one encounters in different fields of modern quantum physics and that have common features considering multilevel quantum systems. The main motivation was to present from the same standpoints various models and approaches that have been developed in atomic, molecular, condensed matter, chemical, laser and nuclear physics in various contexts. The book is based on my lectures in the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, in the Aime Cotton Laboratory of CNRS, and some other courses that I have delivered during last two decades. It includes the original results obtained in collaboration with my collegues V. Aquilanti, I. Averbukh, A. Belousov, M. Blaauboer, E. Borsela, E. Brion, B. Brunetti, C. Brechignac, P. Cahuzac, F. Carlier, I. Dumer, V. Gershkovich, G. Esadze, G. Garsevanishvili, G. Harel, E. Khokhlov, G. Kurizki, R. Larciprete, I. Murachko, A. Nesterenko, A. Orlov, S. Pelegrin, P. Pillet, F. Rebentrost, A. Sarfati, E. Schlag, W. Schleich, F. Vecchiocativi from different scientific centres in the world and with whom I had the pleasure to work on the dynamical aspects of the behaviour of complex quantum systems. I express my deep gratitude to them for their collaboration. The book also contains numerous results of other authors that have, however, been expounded in different notations consistent with the present text, and that sometimes even rely on an alternative derivation as compared to the o
