An introduction to the quantum theory of light-matter interaction in mesoscopic systems, for graduate students and beginning researchers in a one-semester course. Explains essential concepts in a mathematically rigorous but physical manner, emphasizing that theoretical predictions must be tested by experimental observations due to the problematic nature of quantum mechanics and the quantum theory of measurement. Describes recent experiments, treats advanced concepts and topics in mesoscopic quantum optics, and explains mathematical methods, with chapters on quantum states of electromagnetic fields, interaction between atoms and fields, mathematical methods for system-reservoir interaction, stochastic wavefunction methods, and quantum statistical properties of a laser.
