What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘Fox has done a remarkable job at picking the key topics from a broad field. A genuinely interesting experiment in undergraduate education could be put together on the basis of Fox’s textbook.’ Physics Today, September 2007... very well written ... a modern introduction to quantum optics and its applications.'Vlatko Vedral, University of Leeds… the writing is very good and readable. There is a good balance between description and mathematics. I also appreciate a text written by an experimentalist on this topic. It is good to have the experimental intricacies mentioned. And the worked examples are well done.‘Steven Cundiff, JILA, University of Colorado`… excellent for an introductory course in quantum optics.‘Klaus Moelmer, Aarhus University, Denmark
