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

Statistical Methods in Quantum Optics 1 Master Equations and Fokker-Planck Equations / by Howard J. Carmichael.

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 with the more stand...
