Opis

Theory of Non-classical States of Light describes the current status of the theory of non-classical states of light, incorporating many new and important results as well as introductory material and the history of the subject. The authors concentrate on the most important types of non-classical states, namely squeezed, even/odd ('Schrodinger cat'), and binomial states, including their generalizations. However, they also present methods for generating non-classical states in various processes of light-matter interaction and their phase-space description. The time evolution of non-classical states in these processes is presented in separate chapters.
