This is a modern text on quantum optics for advanced undergraduate students. It provides explanations based primarily on intuitive physical understanding, rather than mathematical derivations. There is a strong emphasis on experimental demonstrations of quantum optical phenomena, in both atomic and condensed-matter physics. Other topics include squeezed light, Hanbury–Brown–Twiss experiments, laser cooling, Bose–Einstein condensation, quantum computing, entangled states and quantum teleportation. The book also includes worked examples and exercises.
