It also serves as an ideal reference text for researchers working in the fields of laser spectroscopy and quantum optics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book provides a rigorous introduction to the prototypical problems of radiation fields interacting with two- and three-level atomic systems. It examines the interaction of radiation with both atomic vapors and condensed matter systems, the density matrix and the Bloch vector, and applications involving linear absorption and saturation spectroscopy. Other topics include hole burning, dark states, slow light, and coherent transient spectroscopy, as well as atom optics and atom interferometry. In the second half of the text, the authors consider applications in which the radiation field is quantized. Topics include spontaneous decay, optical pumping, sub-Doppler laser cooling, the Heisenberg equations of motion for atomic and field operators, and light scattering by atoms in both weak and strong external fields. The concluding chapter offers methods for creating entangled and spin-squeezed states of matter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Instructors can create a one-semester course based on this book by combining the introductory chapters with a selection of the more advanced material. A solutions manual is available to teachers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eRigorous introduction to the interaction of optical fields with atoms \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eApplications include linear and nonlinear spectroscopy, dark states, and slow light \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtensive chapter on atom optics and atom interferometry \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eConclusion explores entangled and spin-squeezed states of matter \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eSolutions manual (available only to teachers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul R.
