Murray Holland's research in quantum optics theory involves the quantum mechanical description of states of electromagnetic waves: (1) how they fluctuate because of their quantum mechanical character, (2) how they are measured, and (3) how they interact with matter. This research connects with many problems in quantum computation and quantum information.
