xii, 241 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm. The book Introduction to Quantum Optics introduces the quantum theory of light and its interaction with matter, progressing from fundamental photon concepts to advanced topics such as squeezed states, quantum entanglement, quantum cryptography, and quantum teleportation. Combining clear theoretical explanations with practical examples, the book serves as an accessible introduction for advanced students and researchers entering the fields of quantum optics and quantum information science. Light quanta -- Quantization of the electromagnetic field -- Coherent and squeezed states -- Interaction between atoms and radiation -- Spontaneous and stimulated emission -- Photon statistics -- Quantum interference -- Entanglement -- Quantum cryptography -- Quantum teleportation.
