This lecture covers the concept of sideband cooling in quantum optics, focusing on motional sidebands, Lamb-Dicke parameter, sideband spectrum, Hamiltonian, and sideband addressing. It explains the cooling cycle and provides a quantitative description. The physical realizations and applications of sideband cooling in quantum gases are discussed.
