Course Description |
Quantum optics has been a well-established discipline and played a crucial role in modern development of quantum technology, AMO physics, metrology, and quantum information processing. In this course we will be discussing from the elements of the atom-light interaction, quantum mechanical properties of light, optical response of a resonant medium, and more advanced topics including lasing cooling and quantum information processing. |
