Lecture

Quantum Optics: Atom-Field Interaction

Description

This lecture covers the full quantum theory of atom-field interaction, including the rotating wave approximation and the spontaneous emission rate. It also discusses the semiclassical model, refractive index, and gain in slow and fast light phenomena. The instructor explains the synthesis of arbitrary quantum states using unitary evolution operators and atom-photon interactions.
