Introduction to Quantum Optics

The course gives a basic introduction into the theoretical description of quantized light and quantized light-matter interaction. The derived formalism is then used to examine the properties of quantized light and to understand a number of peculiar quantum optical effects.

Content

  • Basic introduction to quantum mechanics
  • Quantization of the free electromagnetic field
  • Non-classical states of light and their statistics
  • Experiments in quantum optics
  • Semi-classical and fully quantized light-matter interaction
  • Non-linear optics

The course is regularly held within our local M.Sc. Quantum Science & Technology course; but in this query we refer to recorded lectures that are fully online available and thus can work as a self-standing module.
