EE 340: Quantum Photonics

Course Description

Introduction to quantum photonics - generation and manipulation of quantum light on a chip. Classical (coherent) and quantum (Fock, squeezed, entangled, cluster) states of light. Cavity quantum electrodynamics: strong and weak-coupling regime (Purcell factor, spontaneous emission control). Light-matter entanglement in solid state. Measurements of photon statistics and photon indistinguishability; quantum state tomography. Platforms for quantum photonics. Quantum networks; photonics in quantum simulation and computing.
