Abstract
This course builds up on the material covered in the Quantum Optics course. The emphasis will be on analysis of dissipative quantum systems and quantum optics in condensed-matter systems.
Objective
The course aims to provide the knowledge necessary for pursuing advanced research in the field of Quantum Optics in condensed matter systems. Fundamental concepts and techniques of Quantum Optics will be linked to experimental research in interacting photonic systems.
Content
Description of open quantum systems using master equation and quantum trajectories. Decoherence and quantum measurements. Dicke superradiance. Dissipative phase transitions. Signatures of electron-exciton and electron-electron interactions in optical response.
