DESCRIPTION:
This book offers a systematic and comprehensive exposition of the quantum stochastic methods that have been developed in the field of quantum optics. It is the first book in which quantum noise is described by a mathematically complete theory in a form that is also suited to practical applications. It includes new treatments of photodetection, quantum amplifier theory, non-Markovian quantum stochastic processes, quantum input--output theory, and positive P-representations. Special attention is paid to non-classical effects, such as squeezing and antibunching. Chapters added to the previous edition, on the stochastic Schrödinger equation, and on cascaded quantum systems, and now supplemented, in the third edition by a chapter on recent developments in various pertinent fields such as laser cooling, Bose-Einstein condensation, quantum feedback and quantum information.

Book_Reader said Author promotes methods that are not likely to be useful in practice. This book is not ok. It is a shadow of what is another Gardiner's book is. Topic is very rich but this is not an excuse. Most theory in the book is detached from experiments. Author promotes methods that are not likely to be useful in practice.. Frank Inkland said A great book marred with poor binding quality. This book definitely deserves 5 stars, however, Springer's binding quality has reached to the lowest pointafter 10 years abusing on their products. My copy began to lose pages after first use. Now coming backthis book itself, the authors are well known experts in this area. The book covers a wide spectrum oftopics including quantum foundation, Langevin equation, input-output formalism, master equations . Five Stars thank you
