Fundamentals of Quantum and Classical Optics: Squeezed State and Super Resolutions (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781036468040)

Yacob Ben-Aryeh is Professor Emeritus of Physics at the Israel Institute of Technology (Technion), where he previously served as Associate Professor (1976-1987) and Full Professor (from 1988). His expertise includes spectroscopy, quantum mechanics, and quantum and classical optics. He is a Fellow at the Institute of Physics and a member of the Optical Society of America.

In the early years of his research, he studied stellar gases at high temperatures and served as Associate Editor of the Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer (JQSRT). He later focused on quantum optics, investigating the properties of squeezed states, photon statistics and non-classical states, Michelson interferometers, phase operators, amplitude squeezing, intrinsic bistability, and quantum separability and entanglement. His investigations in classical optics include super-resolution imaging with microspheres related to the effects of evanescent waves and those of hot spots.

Professor Yacob Ben-Aryeh has authored approximately 250 peer-reviewed publications, some of which directly inform the research presented in the present book.
