The properties of a unique set of quantum states of the electromagnetic field are reviewed.
These 'squeezed states' have less uncertainty in one quadrature than a coherent state …

Abstract The Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM), a soluble fully quantum mechanical model of
an atom in a field, was first used (in 1963) to examine the classical aspects of spontaneous …

In this paper we review the current state of progress in research on squeezed light. We
discuss the basic theory of squeezing and the nature of quantum noise in optical fields. We …

The dynamics of the interaction of a single Rydberg atom with a single mode of an
electromagnetic field in a superconducting cavity was investigated. Velocity-selected atoms …

The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

Seventy five years ago, three remarkable papers by Schrödinger, Kennard and Darwin were
published. They were devoted to the evolution of Gaussian wave packets for an oscillator, a …

This book is intended to provide a much needed systematic exposition of the mathematical
methods of quantum optics, something that is not found in existing books. It is primarily …

Over 170 years ago, Sadi Carnot, a French engineer, published his famous article"
Reflections on the motive power of fire" and established a new field of science: classical …

The theory of generalized coherent states associated with the SU (2) and SU (1, 1) Lie
algebras is discussed and applied in an investigation of possible reductions of fluctuations …

We show that the vibronic motion of a trapped ion far from the Lamb-Dicke regime can be
described, under appropriate resonance conditions, by a strongly nonlinear, multiquantum …
