Course Objectives
By the end of the semester, the students will be familiar with the fundamental theoretical tools in quantum optics. These include the quantum mechanical treatment of light (electromagnetic waves) and the interaction of matter with light. The students will also learn about some fundamental quantum optical phenomena like electromagnetcally induced transparency.
Course Content
Quantization of the electromagnetic field, coherent states, squeezed states, Glaubers optical coherence measures, atom-field interaction, two-level atoms, Rabi model, Jaynes Cummings model and cavity-QED, three-level atoms, electromagnetically-induced transparency.
