Gravity is the only major force in the universe that doesn’t fit into our current quantum framework, driving the pursuit of a ...

The slurp in question starts with a quantum fluctuation that sets a bubble rolling across the universe like a cosmic tidal wave, obliterating everything in its path. We should take this ...

Squeezed state: Studies showed that the fluctuation noise is ... of light was developed. Cavity quantum electrodynamics: Much was learned about con-trolling spontaneous emission by modifying the ...

Weak fluctuations in superconductivity, a precursor phenomenon to superconductivity, have been successfully detected by a research group at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech).

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball ...

Quantum phenomena are also covered in detail, from entanglement and quantum jumps, to quantum fluctuations in optical systems. Numerous problems at the end of each chapter problems enable the reader ...

Radiation and quanta; quantization of the radiation field and cavity modes; absorption and emission of radiation; coherence functions; coherent states; importance of quantum fluctuations and quantum ...

This book is a systematic treatment of one of these fields--the broad area that deals with the coherence and fluctuation ... and the quantum nature of light and the chapter-end exercises will appeal ...
