About this book

This primer thoroughly covers the fundamentals needed to understand the interaction of light with magnetically ordered matter and it focuses on "cavity optomagnonics" which is a topic undergoing intense study in current research.The book is unique in combining elements of electromagnetism, quantum magnetism, and quantum optics and it is intended for advanced undergraduate or graduate students.

Reviews

“The course was meant for advanced undergraduates and students studying for a Master’s degree. … Optomagnonics is evidently a new and upcoming ‘hybrid’ system with the possibiliy of important experiments waiting to be conceived and implemented.Anyone working on such a project would definitely benefit from having a copy of this book with them in the lab or the desk. All in all, a very interesting, informative and useful book.” (Daniel A. Dubin, zbMath 1419.81005, 2019)
