Description

Explore the historical and theoretical evolution of quantum mechanics with The Quantum Phase Operator: A Review. This specialized text addresses the long-standing challenge of describing the phase of an electromagnetic field mode or harmonic oscillator, a problem that persisted from the early days of modern quantum theory through the invention of the maser and laser in the 1950s and 1960s. Edited by one of the scientists responsible for the Pegg-Barnett formalism, this volume provides a comprehensive look at how the phase problem was eventually addressed in the 1980s. The book charts the development of phase and angle operators from their initial appearance to contemporary theory. By bringing together vital scientific works, this review serves as a deep dive into the mathematical and physical solutions that shaped modern optics and optoelectronics. It is an essential resource for researchers and students studying the progression of quantum theory and the development of key mathematical formalisms in the field.
