Quantum Measurements in Optics

Klappentext

Proceedings of a workshop held January 1991, in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, encompass a wide range of topics from fundamental problems in quantum mechanics to applications in optical technology. A major emphasis is on measurements made possible by recent advances in the generation and detection of lig
