Photons and Atoms: Introduction to Quantum Electrodynamics - Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Jacques Dupont-Roc, Gilbert Grynberg - książka wyd. 1997

Opis

This textbook provides an introduction to quantum electrodynamics (QED), focusing on the interaction between photons and atoms. It begins with the foundations of quantum theory and classical electrodynamics, then develops more advanced concepts of field quantization and the quantum description of light–matter interactions. The book explains processes such as photon absorption and emission, atomic transitions, and different formulations of quantum electrodynamics. It includes many examples and exercises, making it useful for students and researchers in physics, especially atomic physics and quantum optics.
