PLEASE SIGN UP AT THE PIAZZA COURSE WEB PAGE AT https://piazza.com/utoronto.ca/fall2016/phy2203 -- The field of quantum optics has made a revolution on modern physics, from laser, precise measurement, Bose-Einstein condensates, quantuminformation process, to the fundamental issues in quantum mechanics. So, the homework for this course will be in the form of mini-projects. Quantum Optics I Its main characteristics, however, is that it deals with lasers, i.e. Its main characteristics, however, is that it deals with lasers, i.e. The title quantum optics covers a large range of possible courses, and so this introduction intends to explain what this course does and does not aim to provide. Problem Sets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer–Lambert_law, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_wave_equation. Given the price, no optical physicist has an excuse not to own a copy!) Mini-Projects:Problems in nonlinear and quantum optics are quite involved, so traditional homework assignments will not properly teach the material. Lecture notes from Dustin's Lecture Lecture notes from Dirk's Lecture on Nov. 25th. Preface: Quantum mechanics and atomic physics review 1 2. Through this course, I want to provide an in-depth and wide-ranging introduction to If we define QO in such a way, then it would be clear to everybody that Quantum Optics is one of the G&K = Gerry & Knight, Introductory Quantum Optics GAF = Grynberg, Aspect, & Fabre, Introduction to Quantum Optics G&C = Garrison & Chiao, Quantum Optics A&E = Optical Resonance and Two-Level Atoms , L.
