Description
The term non-classical states refers to the quantum states which cannot be produced in the 'usual' sources of light, such as lasers or lamps, rather than those requiring more sophisticated apparatus for their production. This book describes the current status of the theory of non-classical states of light including many new and important results as well as introductory material and the history of the subject. This volume contains all of the necessary formulas and references required to gain a good understanding of the principles and current status of the field. It will provide a valuable information resource for advanced students and researchers in quantum physics.
