* Introduction to Quantum Optics - Grynberg Aspect, and Fabre, Recent books (published within the last 5 years) They all have strengths in different areas and are good to have on your bookshelf. We will not be following any of these texts directly. * The Quantum World of Ultra-Cold Atoms and Light: Book 1: Foundations of Quantum Optics - Gardiner and Zoller. * Atom-Photon interactions- Cohen-Tannoudji,

Applications in quantum information science (quantum communication, computation, metrology) Fundamental paradigms in quantum optics (cavity QED, ion and neutral atom traps, entangled light) Quantum trajectories and continuous measurement Foundations of entanglement and quantum maps Quantum optical particles and waves (discrete and continuous variables) Nonclassical light and photon statistics Atom-photon coupling and atomic coherence Most recently, developments in theory and experiment have led to the possibility of applying the coherent control of quantum optical systems to perform completely new information-processing paradigms such as quantum communication and quantum computation. Quantum optics is the natural arena for experimental tests of the foundations of quantum mechanics and measurement, especially in the context of open, nonequilibrium quantum systems. This includes nonclassical optical media, the basic interaction of photons and atoms, and the nonclassical nature of the electromagnetic field itself. Optics is a broad and varied subject that deals with the study, control, and manipulation of quantum coherence associated with electromagnetic fields.
