Summary

Quantum optics are studied in order to understand how light and matter interact on a quantum level. This knowledge can then be applied in quantum information processing. Semiconductor nanostructures are attracting a great deal of interest as the most promising material for devices with which to implement quantum information processing, quantum cryptography and quantum computing. Part one covers single quantum dot systems. Part two describes nanolasers with quantum dot emitters. Part three explains the theory of light-matter interaction in quantum-dot systems. Part four discusses semiconductor cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) and part five explores the possibilities held by ultrafast phenomena.

Author Biography

Frank Jahnke is Professor at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Bremen, Germany, and is internationally known for his research on semiconductor quantum optics.
