The author, Professor David Klyshko (1929-2000), is one of
the founders of modern quantum optics, renowned for his theory of
Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion (SPDC) and its applications in
quantum metrology and the optics of nonclassical light.
Most parts of the book contain the lecture courses taught by
David Klyshko at Moscow State University, namely, quantum electronics,
nonlinear optics and quantum optics. In every section, the main focus
is on observable effects and their physical interpretation. The book
emphasizes analogies and relations between seemingly different
phenomena and different fields of quantum electronics.
Additional commentaries written by Profs. Maria Chekhova and
Sergey Kulik analyze more recent developments in the corresponding
fields of physics.
