Quantum Optics for Engineers provides a transparent and methodical introduction to quantum optics via the Dirac's bra–ket notation with an emphasis on practical applications and basic aspects of quantum mechanics such as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and Schrodinger's equation.

Self-contained and using mainly first-year calculus and algebra tools, the book:

• Illustrates the interferometric quantum origin of fundamental optical principles such as diffraction, refraction, and reflection


• Provides a transparent introduction, via Dirac's...
