Interaction of Light with matter: nonclassical phenomenon

Abstract

Matter and light interaction has very important applications in classical as well as in nonclassical field. In classical mechanics charged particle interact with oscillating field. In quantum mechanics interaction of light is with quantum states. In this paper we review important nonclassical phenomenon and their applications have been observed in last few years.
