Inhalt:This course will give an introduction to the wide field of quantum optics. Subjects will include: from ray to wave optics, Gaussian beams, field quantization, Fock states, coherent states, squeezed states, thermal states, two level systems, Jaynes-Cummings and dressed atoms as well as measurable consequences of the electromagnetic vacuum. If time permits I will touch some aspects of correlations and photon statistics as well as topics on quantum information such as teleportation and quantum cryptography.

Beginn: Di. 03.11.2020

Übungen: Do. 05.11.2020; 15 - 16 Uhr

Leistungsnachweis: 6 ECTS
The course is offered as a "Wahlpflichtvorlesung" within the Physics Masters program of LMU. Grading will be done through a final exam and presentations of solutions to problems that will be hand out during the course.
