Abstract:	Post-starburst quasars are those quasars that possess Balmer jumps and high-n Balmer absorption lines indicative of luminous stellar populations with ages on order of 100 Myr. These objects, a few percent of quasars, may be an evolutionary stage in the transition of ultraluminous infrared galaxies into normal quasars, or simply a type of galaxy interaction that triggers both star formation and nuclear activity. They may show how black hole mass/bulge mass correlations arise. The new large quasar surveys allow the characterization of the post-starburst quasar population.
