In response to the explosion of theories and experiments since the appearance of the first edition, the author has revised and expanded his basic text. New sections include up-to-date discussions of multiphoton ionization, and electron-atom and atom-atom scattering in laser fields, reaffirming the work's position as the standard introduction to the field.

Interior is clean and bright throughout, with unmarked text and firm binding, free of inscriptions and stamps. Gentle handling wear only. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This is a rigorous and foundational work in the field of quantum optics and atomic physics, offering a comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding the interaction between laser fields and atomic systems. Originally published in response to the rapid growth of laser technologies and their applications, this second edition integrates numerous developments in both theory and experiment - especially in multiphoton ionization and laser-induced scattering processes. The book presents a progression from basic quantum electrodynamics to advanced models of laser-atom interactions, including coherent states, dressed atoms, and multiphoton ionization under intense fields. What sets Mittleman's approach apart is the clarity with which complex quantum-mechanical formalism is connected to practical phenomena such as spontaneous emission, laser trapping, ionization thresholds, and atomic deflection. Notably, the text includes detailed treatments of scattering (both electron-atom and atom-atom) in the presence of strong optical fields - areas of importance in the era of ultracold atoms and optical lattices. The text balances mathematical rigour with physical intuition, offering a bridge between semi-classical approximations and fully quantized field treatments. Additionally, it includes discussion of numerical methods like Floquet theory, essential for solving time-periodic Hamiltonians in laser physics. This book is particularly relevant for researchers and advanced students in atomic, molecular, and optical physics, especially those engaged with the control and manipulation of quantum states via laser technologies. Many of the challenges addressed - such as gauge choice, adiabatic switching, and transition probabilities - remain central in ultrafast and nonlinear optics, attosecond science, and high-intensity field physics. The volume's detailed attention to gauge invariance, statistical descriptions of lasers, and its discussion of experimental comparability make it a valuable resource in designing and interpreting experiments in both fundamental and applied settings.
