Hi,
I am a graduate student with a background more oriented in high energy physics and cosmology but switching to light and matter interaction, more specifically cavity QED and quantum optics. I need to have a working knowledge on those topics, being able to read state of the art articles and literature. I selected this list of books to give me the tools and becoming familiar with the two previous problematics:
- Exploring the Quantum, by S. Haroche and JM. Raimond ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/0198509146/?tag=pfamazon01-20 )
- Quantum Optics, an Introduction, by M. Fox ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/0198566735/?tag=pfamazon01-20 )
- Condensed Matter Field Theory, by A. Atland and B. Simons ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521769752/?tag=pfamazon01-20 )
- Statistical Physics Lectures, by D. Tong ( http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/statphys.html )
I am not sure if they are the best choices, as the tools used in those domains are still obscure to me? Am I missing something?
