Abstract:
This course will provide an introduction to basic quantum optics. A particular focus will be placed on light-matter interactions and the derivation and analysis of simple models such as seminal Jaynes Cummings model. We will explore the crossover from weak to strong light-matter coupling, and of experimental signatures thereof. If time permits, based on discussion with the participants, more specialised topics could be introduced, such as many-body cavity QED or quantum metrology.
Topics include:
- Electromagnetic field quantization
- Quantum states of light
- Jaynes-Cummings model
- Purcell effect
- Input-output relations
