Its early chapters build upon the phase-space methods introduced in the first volume \u003cem\u003eStatistical Methods in Quantum Optics 1 - Matter Equations and Fokker-Planck Equations\u003c\/em\u003e: the difficulties these methods face in treating non-classical light are exposed, where the regime of large fluctuations – failure of the system size expansion – is shown to be particularly problematic. Cavity QED is adopted as a natural vehicle for extending quantum noise theory into this regime. In response to the issues raised, the theory of quantum trajectories is presented as a universal approach to the treatment of fluctuations in open quantum systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book presents its material at a level suitable for beginning researchers or students in an advanced course in quantum optics, or a course in quantum mechanics or statistical physics that deals with open quantum systems. The text is complemented by exercises and interspersed notes that point the reader to side issues or a deeper exploration of the material presented.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2007-10-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540713197\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-540-71320-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 542\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45382393168012,"sku":"9783540713197","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540713197.jpg?v=1776437491","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783540713197","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
