Quantum Optics - Garrison, John (Department of Physics, University of California at Berkeley) a Chiao, Raymond (Professor in the School of Natural Sciences and in the School of Engineering, University of California at Merced)

This book develops the theoretical and experimental basis of quantum optics, i.e. the interaction of individual particles of light (photons) with matter, starting from elementary quantum theory. The self-contained exposition will be useful to graduate students in physics, engineering, chemistry, and senior undergraduates in physics.
