Description
Outline:
The aim of the module is to provide students with an understanding of atomic transitions, precision measurements, atoms in strong laser fields, single photon effects and cavity quantum electrodynamics and ultracold atoms.
Aims:
This module aims to provide a modern perspective on the interactions of atoms and photons with detailed discussion of high intensity field effects, such as multiphoton processes and extending to low field effects; cooling and trapping.
Teaching and Learning Methodology:
This module is delivered via weekly lectures supplemented by a series of workshops and additional discussion.
In addition to timetabled lecture hours, it is expected that students engage in self-study in order to master the material. This can take the form, for example, of practicing example questions and further reading in textbooks and online.
Indicative Topics:
- Atomic transitions
- Precision measurement
- Atoms in strong laser fields
- Single photon effects and cavity quantum electrodynamics
- Ultracold atoms
