Reviews

'... an excellent reference text and their model will surely serve as a solid platform for future work.' Chemistry World (rsc.org/chemistryworld) 'The text is very clearly written. Many of the formulas are explained step by step [and] there are numerous exercises and recommendations for further reading at the end of most chapters. It is a useful tool for all those working in the quantum optics area of research.' Daniela Dragoman, Optics and Photonics News (osa-opn.org)
