Showing papers on "Atomic coherence published in 1974"


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: G S Agarwal as mentioned in this paper proposed a statistical master equation for the evolution of an excited state of a system, based on a quantum statistical model of the system dynamics, which can be used to study the role of dynamical atomic coherence and field coherence.
Abstract: G S Agarwal Berlin: Springer-Verlag 1974 pp ii + 135 price DM 77 The main argument of this little book is based on a quantum statistical master equation for the evolution of an excited state of a system. The advantage of this approach is that arrays of atoms can be treated more simply than in the conventional theories, and the role of the dynamical atomic coherence and field coherence can be studied more directly.
