This article could use some work
editI'm an undergrad, so I'm not exactly an expert in quantum optics or anything, but I can tell this page needs a quality update. The very first sentence, the "...a means of studying the fundamental interaction between light and matter (quantum optics)," feels very clumsy. As the first reference, Schuster's PhD thesis points out in the abstract, cQED isn't simply quantum optics, it's a framework to study quantum information and quantum optics in macroscopic systems—according to an article in Reviews of Modern Physics, it's the study of superconducting circuits that act like qubits.
The article is also paced quite awkwardly. Why would the resonator be talked about before the Jaynes-Cummings model?
I don't have the time to edit or rewrite this article at the moment, but I'll get to it soon. I'll only be able to make limited changes to the mathematics, since I don't have the tools to fully appreciate it all yet.
