This Third Edition, like its two predecessors, provides a detailed account of the basic theory needed to understand the properties of light and its interactions with atoms, in particular the many nonclassical effects that have now been observed in quantum-optical experiments. The earlier chapters describe the quantum mechanics of various optical processes, leading from the classical representation of the electromagnetic field to the quantum theory of light. The later chapters develop the theoretical descriptions of some of the key experiments in quantum optics. Over half of the material in this Third Edition is new. It includes topics that have come into prominence over the last two decades, such as the beamsplitter theory, squeezed light, two-photon interference, balanced homodyne detection, travelling-wave attenuation and amplification, quantum jumps, and the ranges of nonlinear optical processes important in the generation of nonclassical light. The book is written as a textbook, with the treatment as a whole appropriate for graduate or postgraduate students, while earlier chapters are also suitable for final-year undergraduates. Over 100 problems help to intensify the understanding of the material presented.

Great quality tux for the price
Color: White, Size: XX-Large, Color: White, Size: XX-Large
I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and fit right out of the package. The cloth has a subtle pattern that gives it an upscale look without being flashy, and overall it feels far nicer than I expected at this price. Jacket: The jacket has a good weight and thickness, so it feels solid and well-made. Sleeve length was perfect right out of the box, which almost never happens for me. The only fit issue was a bit of snugness in the chest and underarm area, but I have broad shoulders and a larger chest, so that’s not unusual. My dress shirt sleeve length is 36.5", so I went with an XXL instead of my usual XL to make sure the sleeves were long enough. That was the right call, because it’s always easier for a tailor to size something down than to try and make something too small work. Aside from a quick tweak in the chest, this could easily be worn straight out of the package. Pants: The pants are noticeably thinner than the jacket and you can kind of see through them, so you’ll want to be mindful when choosing undergarments. That said, the lighter fabric is actually a plus for summer outdoor events or warm indoor venues since it will help keep you cool and comfortable. The flexible waistband made them very comfortable, and the fit in both the waist and length was spot on. For reference, I usually wear 38x32 dress pants and these matched perfectly. Overall: The quality is excellent for the cost. Even with a minor tailoring bill, my total cost to own this tux will still be less than renting one for a single event. I couldn’t be happier with the purchase and wouldn’t hesitate to pick up another.

brings me to today’s formal fashion
Color: Brown, Size: X-Large
the peak lapel made me feel sharp for the big family dinner. the slim fit worried me, but it was surprisingly comfy, not too tight on my retired belly. the pockets are deep, which is great for my reading glasses case. didn't need much ironing, just hung it up. a solid, non-fussy suit for us old guys.

Works for Dress-Up, Not for Formal Events
Color: Brown, Size: Medium, Color: Brown, Size: Medium
This brown tuxedo is about what you’d expect for under $100 on Amazon. The fabric has a pretty brocade pattern but it’s very thin and floppy. The jacket is lined, which helps give it some structure and makes it look a lot nicer, but the pants don’t lay well since they’re unlined and lack structure. The brown color is actually really nice—rich without looking too chocolately, almost leaning burgundy. That said, the fit on both the jacket and pants is surprisingly good. Overall, this is a fun tux for a costume party or one-off dress-up event, but not something you’d want to rely on for a wedding or a truly formal occasion. Just keep your expectations aligned with the price.

A true beauty
Color: Red, Size: Large
This tuxedo set is so beautiful. The red is extremely striking and is sure to grab everyone's attention. I ordered a size L, as I am on the cusp of Medium and Large. The pants fit very well, and they have some adjustment points around the waist in case they need to be let out a little more. Also, in the waist band is some elastic portions, which make finding the perfect fit something you won't have to think much about.--- they will stretch with you. The jacket feels like it is custom fitted by a tailor. The quality of this tuxedo, considering the price point, is exceptional.
