Fundamentals of Quantum Optics

Quantum optics is a field of research on the quantum mechanical behavior of the electrons in matter interacting with the light field (photons). This chapter begins with the semiclassical theory of the light–matter interaction, where the Rabi oscillations

This series is intended to be comprehensive, covering a broad range of topics important to the study of the physical, chemical and biological sciences. Its goal is to provide scientists and engineers with textbooks, monographs, and reference works to address the growing need for information. The fields of biological and medical physics and biomedical engineering are broad, multidisciplinary and dynamic. They lie at the crossroads of frontier research in physics, biology, chemistry, and medicine. Books in the series emphasize established and emergent areas of science including molecular, membrane, and mathematical biophysics; photosynthetic energy harvesting and conversion; information processing;
