Quantum Physics of Light and Matter A Modern Introduction to Photons, Atoms and Many-Body Systems

Quantum Physics of Light and Matter A Modern Introduction to Photons, Atoms and Many-Body Systems / by Luca Salasnich.

The book gives an introduction to the field quantization (second quantization) of light and matter with applications to atomic physics. The first chapter briefly reviews the origins of special relativity and quantum mechanics and the basic notions of quantum information theory and quantum statistica...
