本卷包含10个讲座中提出的系列ULB讲座在非线性光学在布鲁塞尔自由大学期间10月28日至11月4日，1991年。前六堂课的很大一部分是从为一本范围稍大的书准备的材料中摘录的，这本书将由施普林格出版，书名为《量子光学中的量子统计方法》。本卷提前出版的主要原因涉及最后四次讲座中所载的材料。在这里，我以一种或多或少系统化的方式，整理了一些关于在开放量子光学系统理论中使用随机波函数的想法。这些想法是在我的两个学生默里·沃林斯基和田立光的帮助下发展起来的，大约花了两年时间。它们是建立在与Surendra Singh、Reeta Vyas和佩里赖斯共同撰写的关于共振荧光中的等待时间分布和波函数坍缩的论文[Phys. Rev. A，39，1200（1989）]中奠定的基础上的。ULB的课堂笔记包含了我第一次认真的尝试，完整地阐述了这些思想及其潜在的应用。我感谢保罗·曼德尔教授，他邀请我来讲课，激励我在工作之外组织一些有用的东西，否则，这些东西可能要等很长时间才能汇集在一起。
This volume contains ten lectures presented in the series ULB Lectures in Nonlinear Optics at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles during the period October 28 to November 4, 1991. A large part of the first six lectures is taken from material prepared for a book of somewhat larger scope which will be published, by Springer under the title Quantum Statistical Methods in Quantum Optics. The principal reason for the early publication of the present volume concerns the material contained in the last four lectures. Here I have put together, in a more or less systematic way, some ideas about the use of stochastic wavefunctions in the theory of open quantum optical systems. These ideas were developed with the help of two of my students, Murray Wolinsky and Liguang Tian, over a period of approximately two years. They are built on a foundation laid down in a paper written with Surendra Singh, Reeta Vyas, and Perry Rice on waiting-time distributions and wavefunction collapse in resonance fluorescence [Phys. Rev. A, 39, 1200 (1989)]. The ULB lecture notes contain my first serious atte~ pt to give a complete account of the ideas and their potential applications. I am grateful to Professor Paul Mandel who, through his invitation to give the lectures, stimulated me to organize something useful out of work that may, otherwise, have waited considerably longer to be brought together.
