402-0444-00L | Advanced Quantum Optics Does not take place this semester. | 6 credits | 2V + 1U | A. Imamoglu | |
Abstract | This course builds up on the material covered in the Quantum Optics course. The emphasis will be on quantum optics in condensed-matter systems. | ||||
Objective | The course aims to provide the knowledge necessary for pursuing advanced research in the field of Quantum Optics in condensed matter systems. Fundamental concepts and techniques of Quantum Optics will be linked to experimental research in systems such as quantum dots, exciton-polaritons, quantum Hall fluids and graphene-like materials. | ||||
Content | Description of open quantum systems using master equation and quantum trajectories. Decoherence and quantum measurements. Dicke superradiance. Dissipative phase transitions. Spin photonics. Signatures of electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions in optical response. | ||||
Lecture notes | Lecture notes will be provided | ||||
Literature | C. Cohen-Tannoudji et al., Atom-Photon-Interactions (recommended) Y. Yamamoto and A. Imamoglu, Mesoscopic Quantum Optics (recommended) A collection of review articles (will be pointed out during the lecture) | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Masters level quantum optics knowledge | ||||
402-0448-00L | Quantum Information Processing | 10 credits | 3V + 2U | A. Imamoglu, R. Renner | |
Abstract | The course is an introduction to quantum information processing. It covers the basic theory of quantum information and quantum computation as well as experimental aspects. | ||||
Objective | The goal is to acquire a good understanding of the ideas underlying quantum information processing. The course is also a preparation for subsequent more specialised courses in the area of quantum information science. | ||||
Content | The course starts with a treatment of key features of quantum theory that are relevant for information processing (such as quantum entanglement and non-locality). It covers basic communication tasks (quantum teleportation, entanglement swapping, key distribution, and distributed computation) as well as models of computation (e.g., the gate model) and algorithms (Deutsch-Jozsa and Shor). Further core topics are decoherence, quantum error correction, and fault tolerant quantum computation. | ||||
