Howard J. Carmichael Libri

Focusing on the statistical analysis of non-classical fields, this volume delves into the mathematical frameworks essential for understanding quantum optics. It explores advanced statistical methods and their applications in quantum mechanics, providing insights into the behavior of light and matter at the quantum level. The book emphasizes theoretical developments and practical implications, making it a crucial resource for researchers and students interested in the intersection of statistics and quantum physics.

This book explores the author's deep-rooted questions about the foundations of quantum optics encountered during graduate studies. It addresses the perceived lack of fundamental grounding in concepts like "quantum fluctuations" and "quantum noise," highlighting a disconnect between accepted starting points and their theoretical underpinnings.
