ATOMS AND QUANTUM OPTICS
PHY3QMO
2021
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject, you will study the quantum description of atomic systems and the electro magnetic wave and apply this to 'real-world' problems. At the completion of this subject you will understand the fundamental physics of the LASER from the perspective of quantum optics, you will also gain an understanding of quantum cryptography, quantum teleportation, and quantum computing. This subject is one of four such subjects at third year level that together constitute the Physics major stream. It provides a solid foundation for honours and a post-graduate research studies in Physics.
