Introductory quantum optics / [Book] / Christopher Gerry, Peter Knight. - New York : New York : Cambridge University Press, 2005. - xiii, 317 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm.

This elementary introduction to the subject of quantum optics, the study of the quantum mechanical nature of light and its interaction with matter, is almost entirely concerned with the quantized electromagnetic field. The text is designed for upper-level undergraduates taking courses in quantum optics who have already taken a course in quantum mechanics, and for first- and second- year graduate students.
