From Quantum Optics to Quantum Technologies
This advanced course bridges the gap from the fundamental principles of quantum optics—the interaction between matter (such as atoms) and electromagnetic fields at the quantum level (photons)—to modern quantum technologies.
Students will learn how quantum effects are harnessed to develop groundbreaking devices and precision measurement techniques, driving what is often called the “second quantum revolution.”
This course was taught by Simone Gasparinetti (examiner) in collaboration with Witlef Wieczorek in Fall 2022.
