Providing a deeper understanding of the microscopic world through quantum theory, this supplementary text is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students in quantum theory and quantum optics. It contains physical, rather than formal, explanations; mathematical formalism is kept to a minimum; and theoretical discussions are combined with experimental results.
This textbook provides a physical understanding of what photons are and of their properties and applications. Special emphasis is made in the text to entangled photon pairs which exhibit quantum mechanical correlations over manifestly macroscopic distances. Such photon pairs make possible such exciting techniques as teleportation and quantum cryptography.
