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.
