The theory of open quantum systems is developed from first principles, and a detailed discussion of real quantum devices is also covered. This unique and self-contained book is accessible to graduate students and researchers working in atomic physics, quantum information, condensed matter physics, and quantum chemistry.

Gershon Kurizki has held the G.W. Dunne Professorial Chair in Theoretical Quantum Optics at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel since 1998. He was the recipient of the W.E. Lamb Medal in Laser Science and Quantum Optics (USA) in 2008 and the Humboldt-Meitner Award (Germany) in 2009 for pioneering contributions to the theory of quantum measurements and decoherence control in open quantum systems. A Fellow of the Optical Society of America, the American Physical Society and the UK Institute of Physics, he has co-authored more than 300 scientific publications.
