Modern opticsis the physics of two-by-two matrices and harmonic oscillators. The one- andtwo-photon coherent states are based on the mathematics of harmonicoscillators. This comprehensive book examines the mathematical details of how two-by-twomatrices, Wigner functions and the Lorentz group can be implemented inclassical and quantum optics. | Mathematical Devices For Optical Sciences by Sibel Baskal, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
