Summary
Deals with quantum-mechanical distribution functions and their applications in quantum optics and neutron interferometry. This book describes the phase-space representation of quantum optical phenomena, such as coherent and squeezed states. It also presents applications to interferometry, such as in beam splitters and fiber networks
