DESCRIPTION:
"Some comments" according to A Customer. 'Atom-Field Interactions and Dressed Atoms' is a useful book for graduate students and reseachers in the field of Quantum Optics. The interaction between atoms and electromagnetic fields is a research area which demands strong backgound in mathematics and numerical simulations. From this point of view the authors give a very good approach of the subject. Furthermore, modern topics in Atom Opt
The first four chapters describe the different forms of the interaction between atoms and radiation fields. . The rest of the book deals with how these interactions lead to the formation of dressed states, in the presence of vacuum fluctuations, as well as in the presence of external fields. From the Back Cover Remarkable recent developments in the field of quantum optics have given rise to experimental techniques, of unprecedented sensitivity, and theoretical tools which are being used to investigate the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics, and to perform extremely sophisticated measurement of important physical parameters. Also covered are the role of dressed atoms in quantum measurement theory, and the physical interpretation of vacuum radiative effects. This book provides an introduction to this exciting area of physics by giving a comprehensive account of the basic theory of the interaction between atoms and electromagnetic
The interaction between atoms and electromagnetic fields is an area of central importance to the investigation of fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics. Treating a key field on the boundary between quantum optics and quantum electrodynamics, the book will be of great use to graduate students, as well as to established experimentalists and theorists, in either of these areas.. The authors provide an introduction to the theory concerning this interaction by describing the different forms of the interaction and dealing with how these interactions lead to the formation of dressed states, in the presence of vacuum fluctuations as well as in the presence of external fields. They also cover the role of dressed atoms in quantum measurement theory and the physical interpretation of vacuum radiative effects
