Reviews
'This book is a valuable contribution to the scientific literature by addressing issues that fall at the boundary between quantum optics and nonlinear optics. It is exactly at this boundary where one might expect exciting advances to develop in the coming years. The authors have done a good job in selecting the topics for inclusion in their very fine text.' Robert W. Boyd, Canada Excellence Research Chair in Quantum Nonlinear Optics, University of Ottawa, and University of Rochester 'Two of the pioneers of quantum optics have produced a clear introduction to the quantum theory of nonlinear optical processes with applications ranging from laser physics to quantum information. The powerful method of P representations to treat quantum stochastic processes is introduced with exemplary clarity and many examples. This is an essential introduction for graduate students, who will appreciate the carefully chosen problem sets, and a valuable reference for experienced researchers in the field.' Gerard J. Milburn, University of Queensland '... [a] highly recommended textbook ... The derivations are self-contained and mathematically rigorous.' Barry R. Masters, Optics and Photonics News
