Quantum Theory of Radiation - Pike, E. R. (F. R. S., Clerk Maxwell Professor of Theoretical Physics, Department of Physics, F. R. S., Clerk Maxwell Professor of Theoretical Physics, Department of Physics, King's College, University of London) a Sarkar, Sarben (Reader in Theoretical Phys

Covers phenomena in photon-matter interactions over a range of many orders in energy. A thorough treatment of relativistic quantum electrodynamics and more general gauge theories is given, and their connections with quantum optics and atomic physics are explored. The theory is extended to include open systems.
