Hans-A. Bachor received his degrees in physics from the Universität Hannover, Germany. Since 1981 he has worked and taught at the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia where he is now Professor and Director of the Australian Centre of Excellence in Quantum-Atom Optics. The focus of his work are experiments with nonclassical light. Timothy C. Ralph graduated from Macquarie University, Australia and received his PhD from the Australian National University. He is presently Associate Professor at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia. He is also scientific manager for the Queensland node of the Australian Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computer Technology. The focus of his work is quantum information in optics.

Quantum information
"Das Buch stellt eine wertvolle Hilfe dar, um einen ersten Einblick in Experimente der Quantenoptik zu erhalten. Viele Messtechniken werden anschaulich erklärt, und wertvolle Details zu den dabei verwendeten Apparaturen werden gegeben. Die zahlreichen Literaturhinweise bieten eine hervorragende Hilfe zur weiteren Vertiefung. ... Das Buch ist für eine erste Einführung in die experimentellen Aspekte der Quantenoptik sehr empfehlenswert."

"...I find it extremely useful and timely, for all the people who have received a solid education in classical optics and who feel the need to understand "what's going on" in quantum optics, what means "below the standard quantum limit" etc... I like very much your approach of starting from experimental schemes. One of the great qualities of this book is that it is "self-contained": the theoretical tools necessary to understand the experiments are given in a concise and useful way. I will recommend it to those of my students who look for an "hands on" introduction to quantum optics."
Alain Aspect, Ecole Polytechnique, Orsay, France
From the first Edition:
"Compared to other books on this topic starting with theoretical background the stress here is put on the actual experiments and the underlying physics is explained in the intuitive way."
V. Burjan jun (Praha)
Zentralblatt für Mathematik, 27/2000
"The book focuses on a series of quantum optics experiments and what can be learnt from them. It provides a practical background in opto-electronics."
ASLIB Book Guide, Vol. 63, No. 11, 1998
This particular book therefore comes as a somewhat refreshing change. Indeed it satisfies a need for a book which describes actual experiments with their limitations and at the same time providing accessible theoretical explanation. ... I certainly recommend postgraduate students in quantum optics to obtain access to this book.
