Klauder Books

Beyond Conventional Quantization
"When treated conventionally, certain systems yield trivial and unacceptable results. This book describes enhanced procedures, generally involving extended correspondence rules for the association of a classical and a quantum theory, which, when applied to such systems, yield nontrivial and acceptable results. Requiring only a modest prior knowledge of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, this book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics, mathematical physics, and mathematics."

Coherent States - Applications in Physics and Mathematical Physics
A brief introduction to Coherent States followed by a collection of useful articles. Authored with B. S. Skagerstam.

Fundamentals of Quantum Optics
Volume authored jointly with E. C. G. Sudarshan.

On Klauder's Path: A Field Trip
A volume in celebration of my 60th birthday.
