Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

This is an elective course in the MSc in Quantum Computing and Quantum Technologies

The course for the spring semester 2025-26 is taught every Thursday from 18:00-20:00 CET.

The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to basic quantum optics phenomena and connect them with applications in quantum technologies. The course syllabus includes:

Introductory part: Basic elements from electromagnetism, nonlinear optics and quantum mechanics. Basics of lasers and basic laser theory.

Semiclassical Light-Matter Interaction: Rabi oscillations, semiclassical dressed states, emission properties, linear and nonlinear optical response of a two-level quantum system, semiclassical laser theory, self-induced transparency, coherent population trapping, electromagnetically induced transparency and slow light in a three-level quantum system.

Quantum Properties of Light: Quantization of the electromagnetic field, Fock states, coherent states and squeezed states of the electromagnetic field and their properties.  

Quantum Light-Matter Interaction: The Jaynes-Cummings model, quantum Rabi oscillations, vacuum Rabi oscillations, and collapse and revival, Wigner-Weisskopf theory of spontaneous emission, quantum systems in cavities and other modified photonic reservoirs – Purcell effect, decaying Rabi oscillations.

Advanced Topics (the number will depend on how many time permits us): Quantum interference effects in spontaneous emission. Nonlinear wave mixing in a two-level quantum system. Gain without inversion or lasing without inversion. Resonance fluorescence and photon statistics from a driven two-level quantum system.
