Reviews

Professor Schleich has written an excellent book covering Quantum Optics in a fashion that nicely compliments other works in this area. A wide community will benefit from this fine book, ranging from students entering the field to established researchers. I have already put it to good use in my laboratory and heartily recommend it. (Prof. Dr. H. Jeff Kimble, Caltech, USA) [The author] did really an exceptional job. This book will be certainly very useful to the community. (Prof. Dr. Lugiato Luigi, Universita dell'Insubria, Como, Italy) ... a really well-done moograph which will be read and used for years. (Prof. Dr. P.L. Knight, Fellow of Royal Society, Imperial College, London, UK)
