Students in their third year of Bachelor will be perfectly able to follow the lecture and can use it for their future master curriculuum. Students from other Departement are welcome, but they should have a solid background in mathematics and physics, although the lecture is quite self-contained.

KurzbeschreibungIntroduction to experimental quantum information processing (QIP). Quantum bits. Coherent Control. Quantum Measurement. Decoherence. Microscopic and macroscopic quantum systems. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in molecules and solids. Ions and neutral atoms in electromagnetic traps. Charges and spins in quantum dots. Charges and flux quanta in superconducting circuits. Novel hybrid systems.
LernzielIn recent years the realm of quantum mechanics has entered the domain of information technology. Enormous progress in the physical sciences and in engineering and technology has allowed us to envisage building novel types of information processors based on the concepts of quantum physics. In these processors information is stored in the quantum state of physical systems forming quantum bits (qubits). The interaction between qubits is controlled and the resulting states are read out on the level of single quanta in order to process information. Realizing such challenging tasks may allow constructing an information processor much more powerful than a classical computer. The aim of this class is to give a thorough introduction to physical implementations pursued in current research for realizing quantum information processors. The field of quantum information science is one of the fastest growing and most active domains of research in modern physics.

KurzbeschreibungThe course is a theoretical introduction to strong field laser ionization of atoms and molecules. Particular focus will be on tunnel ionization which is behind many recent experiments and applications, both in chemistry and physics.
Lernziel
InhaltThe course is a theoretical introduction to strong field laser
ionization of atoms and molecules. Particular focus will be on tunnel
ionization which is behind many recent experiments and applications,
both in chemistry and physics. Common approaches to analyzing
ionization events will be presented, including Keldysh, Strong-Field
and others. The aim is to both understand ionization from a
theoretical perspective and to put into context recent experimental
results. With this in mind, important phenomena created by strong
field ionization, such as high harmonic generation (HHG) and Rydberg
state creation will be explained. Among the fundamental physics
questions addressed will be the much debated question of tunneling
time in ionization, defining tunneling time and relating it to recent
experimental measurement and theoretical literature.

402-0498-00LCavity QED and Ion Trap PhysicsW6 KP2V + 1UJ. Home
KurzbeschreibungThis course will cover the physics of systems where harmonic oscillators are coupled to single or multiple spin systems. Experimental realizations include photons trapped in high-finesse cavities and atomic ions trapped by electro-magnetic fields. These approaches have achieved an extraordinary level of quantum control, providing leading technologies for quantum information processing.
LernzielThe objective is to provide a basis for understanding the wide range of research currently being performed on fundamental quantum mechanics with spin-spring systems, including cavity-QED and ion traps. During the course students would expect to gain an understanding of the current frontier of research in these areas, and the challenges which must be overcome to make further advances. This should provide a solid background for tackling recently published research in these fields, including experimental realisations of quantum information processing.
InhaltThis course will cover cavity-QED and ion trap physics, providing links and differences between the two. It aims to cover both theoretical and experimental aspects. In all experimental settings the role of decoherence and the quantum-classical transition is of great importance, and this will therefore form one of the key components of the course.

Cavity QED
(atoms/spins coupled to a quantized field mode)
Ion trap
(charged atoms coupled to a quantized motional mode)

Quantum state engineering:
Coherent and squeezed states
Entangled states
