New theoretical analyses and optical experiments have given rise to a more complete knowledge of the quantum properties of light. While presenting the first detailed description of this branch of quantum optics, the book discusses quantum tomography, the quantum mechanical description of simple optical instruments, and the problem of the simultaneous measurement of position and momentum.It will appeal to graduate students and researchers in quantum optics as well as anyone interested...

While presenting the first detailed description of this branch of quantum optics, the book discusses quantum tomography, the quantum mechanical description of simple optical instruments, and the problem of the simultaneous measurement of position and momentum.It will appeal to graduate students and researchers in quantum optics as well as anyone interested in the foundations of quantum mechanics or more general problems of quantum measurement.
