Statistical Methods in Quantum Optics 1: Master Equations and Fokker-Planck Equations

by Howard J. Carmichael

Book Overview

This is the first of a two-volume presentation on current research problems in quantum optics, and will serve as a standard reference in the field for many years to come. The book provides an introduction to the methods of quantum statistical mechanics used in quantum optics and their application to the quantum theories of the single-mode laser and optical bistability. The generalized representations of Drummond and Gardiner are discussed together...
