This clear guide to quantum and classical optics covers fundamental principles like entanglement and cutting-edge topics like quantum engines and label-free super-resolution imaging. It explains how light is used to study and control matter at the smallest scales.
This book introduces key ideas in quantum and classical optics, guiding readers through both fundamental principles and advanced topics. Designed for graduate students, researchers, and curious readers with a scientific background, it explains complex systems in a clear and approachable way. The first part focuses on the foundations of quantum optics, covering topics like light-matter interactions, entanglement, and systems with unusual symmetry properties. Later chapters explore cutting-edge subjects not usually found in textbooks, such as quantum engines and super-resolution imaging techniques that work without fluorescent labels. These chapters highlight how light can be used to study and control matter at the smallest scales, from individual atoms to nanoscale structures. Throughout the book, mathematical details are presented carefully, with references for deeper study. By combining clarity with depth, this book invites readers to explore the fascinating world of optical physics and its role in today’s scientific frontiers.
This book is a comprehensive introduction to the physics of intense laser-plasma interaction, motivated by applications in high-energy-density physics. For master’s and graduate students, it combines accessible theory with up-to-date developments and practical exercises.
This book generalizes transforms from accelerated frames to inertial frames—essential for real-world applications where labs are not truly inertial. It covers the theory and derivation of relativistic fictitious forces (Coriolis, centrifugal) and the Thomas Wigner effect.
This book explores statistical physics, focusing on subjects from condensed matter to black holes. It discusses gas-liquid transitions, the entropy of earthquakes, the hadronization of the quark-gluon plasma, and the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics.
Yefremov provides insights into the tight connection between fundamental math and mechanics, demonstrating that quantum, classical, and relativistic mechanics can be regarded as links of a single theoretical chain readily extracted from a simple mathematical medium.
This book presents a unified, accessible approach to the physics of the liquid state, in and out of equilibrium. It covers statistical mechanics and complex fluids, making it an indispensable reference for graduate students and researchers in physics and chemistry.
This book graphically represents metallic and semi-metallic elements, allowing their nature to be interpreted. Each element is plotted in a diagram with thermal conductivity on the abscissa and the Young’s modulus on the ordinate.
This book explores how simple optical systems can create fascinating quantum states, including Schrödinger’s cat-type states of light. Using abundant graphics over formulas, it makes modern quantum optics accessible to scientists, teachers, and students of physics.
This book provides the “picture of reality” for the quantum world that eluded Einstein. It offers a realistic interpretation compatible with all experimental evidence, plus new perspectives on dark energy, dark matter, and stellar collapse, summarizing 50 years of research.
This book is a guide to performing uniform broadband measurements with low uncertainty. It discusses radiometric, photometric, color, and LED measurements, and shows how to avoid large errors by standardizing the measurement procedure and using properly selected meters.
At last, a clear path through quantum mechanics. This book intuitively unravels entanglement and wave-particle duality, revealing a profound truth: the objectivity of reality is not a simple yes-or-no question.
