Fundamentals of Photon Physics describes the richly faceted, basic theory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof photon-matter interaction, selecting a wide number of topics. Together with the author's book\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLight -- The Physics of the Photon (CRC, 2014), both written on a scholarly level, the reader is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egiven a comprehensive exposition of photon wave mechanics, quantum optics and quantum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eelectrodynamics (QED).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivided into 10 parts, the book begins by exploring the relation between photon wave mechanics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand quantum field theory. It then describes the theories of zero- and one-photon states and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethat of bi-photons. After discussing conservation laws, Lagrangian formulations, geometric\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ephase and topology, the author turns towards the theory of photon scattering, emphasizing a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edensity matrix operator approach and the role of microscopic extinction th\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51017909928279,"sku":"9780367457266","price":123.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780367457266.jpg?v=1750775056","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/fundamentals-of-photon-physics-9780367457266","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
