<br/><br/> "Quantum optics remains one of the liveliest fields in physics. While it has been a dominant research field for at least four decades, with much graduate activity, it has now impacted the undergraduate curriculum. This book developed from courses we have taught to final-year undergraduates and beginning graduate students at Imperial College London and City University of New York"--
