The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

We present a review of theoretical and experimental aspects of multiphoton quantum optics.
Multiphoton processes occur and are important for many aspects of matter–radiation …

Methods for, and limitations to, the generation of entangled states of trapped atomic ions are
examined. As much as possible, state manipulations are described in terms of quantum …

In this survey, various generalizations of Glauber–Sudarshan coherent 4 states are
described in a unified way, with their statistical properties and their 5 possible role in non …

Seventy five years ago, three remarkable papers by Schrödinger, Kennard and Darwin were
published. They were devoted to the evolution of Gaussian wave packets for an oscillator, a …

This is the third, revised and extended edition of the acknowledged" Lectures on Quantum
Optics" by W. Vogel and D.-G. Welsch. It offers theoretical concepts of quantum optics, with …

Over the last quarter of this century, revolutionary advances have been made both in kind
and in precision in the application of particle traps to the study of thephysics of charged …

We present a general unified approach for arranging quantum operators of optical fields into
ordered products (normal ordering, antinormal ordering, Weyl ordering (or symmetric …

A scheme for measuring the quantum state for an arbitrary spin is proposed that is
analogous to the symplectic tomography scheme used to measure quantum states …

This article is a direct illustration of a construction of coherent states which has been recently
proposed by two of us (JPG and JK). We have chosen the example of a particle trapped in …
