Abstract
This is the revised and supplemented edition of the acknowledged "Lectures on Quantum Optics" by W. Vogel and D.-G. Welsch. It offers theoretical concepts of quantum optics, with special emphasis on current research trends. Quantum-state reconstruction and laser-driven quantized motion of trapped atoms are new topics that are included in the revised edition. The rigorous development of quantum optics in the context of quantum field theory and the attention spent to details make the book valuable to graduate students as well as to researchers in related areas.
