Springer Quantum Optics and Experimental Gravity - NATO Series

This scholarly volume, published by Springer, presents the comprehensive proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute titled "Quantum Optics and Experimental General Relativity." The meeting took place in Bad Windsheim, Federal Republic of Germany, from August 16 to 29, 1981. While quantum optics, experimental general relativity, and quantum measurement theory may appear to be separate fields, this collection explores the connection between them. The core link is the global scientific effort to detect gravitational radiation. By examining these subjects together, the text provides a specialized look at the research and development occurring in laboratories worldwide to advance our understanding of physics. As part of the NATO Science Series B (Volume 94), this book serves as a vital resource for researchers and students interested in the intersection of quantum measurement and gravitational research. It captures the scientific discussions and developments that drive progress in these complex physical sciences.
