Causal Physics ─ Photons by Non-Interactions of Waves

This work explains how the non-interaction of waves principle applies to both classical and quantum optics. Focusing on waves in the linear domain, it explores ambiguous, contradictory, and paradoxical concepts that exist in spite of apparently correct mathematical formulations. The author reformulates classical and quantum optics mathematics by clearly defining the methodology used for gathering information from these measurements. The book provides the tools to properly validate a model of these measurements, thus giving a more coherent and simpler understanding of classical and quantum optics.

Chandrasekhar Roychoudhuri is a research professor of physics, at the University of Connecticut. His key interest is in exploring the fundamental nature of light and particles. Chandra came to the USA as a Fulbright Scholar and received his PhD from the Institute of Optics, University of Rochester. He has worked for US industries for 14 years (TRW, Perkin-Elmer, United Technologies) and for academia for over two decades (India, Mexico, USA). He is a life member of APS, OSA, and IEEE, and Fellow of OSA and SPIE. He was a member of the board of directors of both OSA and SPIE.
