Recommended Reading: Quantum Optics by Mark Fox is an excellent resource for people just starting off on the subject. The concepts are explained well enough to give the reader an intuitive understanding of the material. For light reading, A thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini is a novel that has received much praise since its release and is a personal favorite.
