Description
This book is a compilation of lectures given by scientists at the ONR on the topic of photons and quantum fluctuations. Nonclassical light is light that does not follow the laws of classical physics, and as a result, the noise in the signal is reduced below what would be expected. This book is meant for researchers and postgraduates in quantum optics, and may be of interest to historians of science who are pondering the philosophical implications of these developments.
Based on a special ONR seminar, Photons and Quantum Fluctuations draws together discoveries in nonclassical or silent light for research workers and postgraduates in quantum optics. With nonclassical light, noise is reduced in amplitude below that expected by previous applications of the uncertainty principles. Historians of science who wish to ponder the philosophical implications of these developments may also find this a useful volume.
