285510 Atomic and Molecular Physics II (V) (SoSe 2026)

Atomic, molecular an optical physics is the playground for the development and first application of quantum technology. The present course tries to provide a sound introduction to these timely topics.

The covered topics are as follows:
- Quantum emitters - from atoms to quantum dots and point defects
- Spontaneous emission and Purcell enhancement
- Coherence, decoherence in quantum systems
- Time‑resolved probing of electronic and nuclear dynamics
- Fundamentals of nonlinear optical spectroscopy
- Quantum control fundamentals - Implementation of qubit operations
- Cavity and Circuit QED - Strong coupling and hybrid quantum systems
- Strong‑field and high‑intensity physics - HHG, attosecond pulse generation

Administration of the course will be organized in Moodle.

If requested the course is taught in English.
