Overview

Quantum mechanics sets fundamental limits on the amount of information one can extract from a system with a single set of measurements. Recent results of new theoretical analyses and sophisticated optical experiments have approached these limits as never before, giving rise to a more complete knowledge of the quantum properties of light. This book is the first to give a detailed description of this fascinating branch of quantum optics. Graduate students and researchers in quantum optics will find this a fascinating book. It will also appeal to anyone interested in the foundations of quantum mechanics or more general problems of quantum measurement.

Synopsis
