Statistical Methods in Quantum Optics 1: Master Equations and Fokker-Planck Equations
Product Description
The book provides an introduction to the methods of quantum statistical mechanics used in quantum optics and their application to the quantum theories of the single-mode laser and optical bistability. The generalized representations of Drummond and Gardiner are discussed together with the more standard methods for deriving Fokker–Planck equations. Particular attention is given to the theory of optical bistability formulated in terms of the positive P-represe… More >>

Spectrum of Belief: Joseph von Fraunhofer and the Craft of Precision Optics
Product Description
In the nineteenth century, scientific practice underwent a dramatic transformation from personal endeavor to business enterprise. In Spectrum of Belief, Myles Jackson explores this transformation through a sociocultural history of the rise of precision optics in Germany. He uses the career of the optician Joseph von Fraunhofer (1787-1826) to probe the relationship between science and society, and between artisans and experimental natural philosophers, during this im… More >>
