This book provides a solid pedagogical background in the techniques used in quantum optics, with an emphasis on open quantum systems. Suitable for undergraduates as a second semester quantum mechanics course or first year graduate students, this book begins with a short summary of quantum mechanics and contains physics of open systems and their application to light/matter interactions. Written in a simplified manner and classroom tested, this book provides the fundamentals of quantum optics and includes recent developments in the field. Part of IOP Series in Emerging Technologies in Optics and Photonics.

In this book, some of the mathematical fundamentals of quantum optics are introduced in a way to be understandable and usable by senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students. The amount of material discussed is huge; one can find the definition of all kinds of states including squeezed and cat states. The typographical presentation is very good and some figures are in colour. The book is available in e-version as well as printed with a hard cover. I found a very few misprints and believe its reading can be very useful to people who already know about the subject and wish for a short reminder of it.
