This paper provides a brief introduction and an
annotated guide to the literature about the role of coherence in quantum optics.
Books, conference proceedings and selected journal articles are listed for the
following topics: Early history, lasers, nonclassical states of light, cavity
quantum electrodynamics, cooling and trapping, atom optics, and optical tests of
the foundations of physics. |
