Course Description |
Quantum optics is a very important area of physics that deals with optical phenomena, light-matter interaction, and the fundamental nature of light and atoms from the microscopic level where quantum mechanics governs the behavior. The mathematical framework we learn from this course applies to a wide range of research fields such as atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, condensed matter physics, quantum metrology and precision measurement, quantum chemistry and biology, and quantum computing and engineering. |
|
Course Objective |
In this course we will learn
1. Mathematical framework of quantum optical systems
2. Quantum mechanical nature of light and vacuum
3. Quantum coherence, decoherence, entanglement, and the applications
4. Fundamental elements of quantum computing |
