Quantensysteme

Prof. Dr. Julian Schmitt
INF 227, Room 03.404
Monday 14:15-16:00

The seminar provides an introduction to quantum optics and photonics. We will focus on landmark experiments that shaped our understanding of the quantum nature of light and its interaction with matter. The topics build on one another, highlighting how experimental capabilities enabled new physics. Beginning with the foundations of photon statistics and coherence, the seminar progresses through single-photon generation, light–matter coupling, entanglement, and nonclassical states of light, and explore how these concepts are implemented in modern platforms. Each topic is anchored by key papers that exemplify both conceptual insight and experimental technique. Participants should be familiar with quantum mechanics, atomic physics, optics, and electrodynamics.
