In this chapter we discuss the effects of losses on quantum optical systems. We discuss quantum jumps and master equations. We introduce the notion of using fictitious beam splitters to model losses. We introduce the decoherence of pure quantum mechanical states into a statistical mixture.

Chapter 19 covers customizing and exporting tables to Microsoft Word and Excel using the new table command and includes how to customize one-way tables, two-way tables, tables of univariate summary statistics, correlation tabes, and regression tables, and how to export them to Microsoft Word and Excel.

This chapter briefly describes the scope and aims of the book and the history of quantum optics as a science in its own right.

In this chapter we introduce the Glauber coherent states of a quantized field as eigenstates of the annihilation operator and as displaced vacuum states. The phase-space picture of coherent states is introduced, along with phase-space probability distributions, namely the Q distribution, the P distribution, and the Wigner function, and their interrelations are discussed.

Chapter 20 covers accessing data from public-use sources and includes the following specific topics, among others: good research questions, desirable features of public-use data, and accessing publicly available datasets.

Chapter 16 covers an introduction to multiple regression and includes the following specific topics, among others: confidence intervals, statistical significance of the b weight, fit of the overall regression Eeuation, R and R-squared, adjusted R-squared, semipartial correlation, partial slope, confounding, and statistical control.

Chapter 17 covers two-way interactions in multiple regression and includes the following specific topics, among others: two-way interaction, first-order effects, main effects, interaction effects, model selection, AIC, BIC, and probing interactions.

Chapter 7 covers probability fundamentals and includes the following specific topics, among others: the discrete case, additive rules of probability, complement rule of probability, multiplicative rule of probability, conditional probability, Bayes’ theorem, and the law of large numbers.
