The emerging field of semiconductor quantum optics combines
semiconductor physics and quantum optics, with the aim of
developing quantum devices with unprecedented performance. In this
book researchers and graduate students alike will reach a new level
of understanding to begin conducting state-of-the-art
investigations. The book combines theoretical methods from quantum
optics and solid-state physics to give a consistent microscopic
description of light-matter- and many-body-interaction effects in
low-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures. It develops the
systematic theory needed to treat semiconductor quantum-optical
effects, such as strong light-matter coupling, light-matter
entanglement, squeezing, as well as quantum-optical semiconductor
spectroscopy. Detailed derivations of key equations help readers
learn the techniques and nearly 300 exercises help test their
understanding of the materials covered. The book is accompanied by
a website hosted by the authors, containing further discussions on
topical issues, latest trends and publications on the field. The
