With the aid of a model-building approach, readers discover the answer to this question and come to appreciate its important applications in computing, cryptography, quantum teleportation, and opto-electronics. Instead of taking a traditional approach that requires readers to first master a series of seemingly unconnected mathematical techniques, this book engag 410 0$aWiley series in lasers and applications. 606 $aQuantum optics 606 $aQuantum electrodynamics 615 0$aQuantum optics. 615 0$aQuantum electrodynamics. 676 $a535/.15 700 $aDutra$b S.
