This book, the second in our trilogy “The Quantum World of Ultra-Cold Atoms and Light”, aims to present the quantum-optical toolbox in a form appropriate to the needs of those working with quantum devices. Although the quantum devices now being implemented use a number of technologies, the fundamental quantum mechanical structure underpinning them is the same as that of the quantum optics of atoms and light, and their description by means of quantum stochastic processes. The “atoms” used may be genuine atoms, or they may be based on engineered systems, such as quantum dots, nitrogen vacancy centres in diamond, rare earth dopants in YAG, nanomechanical systems, or superconducting systems; similarly the “light” may be of any wavelength between the ultraviolet and the microwave regimes.
