'Quantum Theory of Near-field Electrodynamics' gives a self-contained accountof the fundamental theory of field-matter interaction on a subwavelength scale. The quantum physical behavior of matter (atoms and mesoscopic media) in both classical and quantum fields is treated. The role of local-field effects andnonlocal electrodynamics, and the tight links to the theory of spatial photonlocalization are emphasized. The book may serve as a reference work in the field, and is of general interest for physicists working in quantum optics, mesoscopic electrodynamics and physical optics. The macroscopic and microscopic classical theories form a good starting point for the quantum approach, and these theories are presented in a manner appropriate for graduate students entering near-field optics. Covers the major aspects of the theory of near-field electrodynamics. Integrates near-field optics and quantum theory. Both a reference work for researchers and students. INDICE: Introduction. Part A: Microscopic Classical Theory. Part B: Macroscopic Classical Theory. Part C: Quantum Theory with Classical Fields. Part D: Quantum Electrodynamic Theory.
