Quantum Optics and Second Quantization (Study Group Sessions)

Summary

This Daily Study Group explores photonic second quantization, utilizing the Wolfram Quantum Framework and its functionalities for describing states and operators used in quantum optics. The lessons cover topics like quantization of the electromagnetic field, nonclassical states of light, atom-field interactions, decoherence and master equations. These topics are discussed in a introductory quantum optics course at the level of standard textbooks like Gerry and Knight. The majority of the content is of an educational nature, but research-oriented examples are also included. Participants who complete the program will earn a certificate of completion.
