ED352 - Course 'Quantum Processes involving atoms and photons', Caroline CHAMPENOIS

This lecture aims at giving the clues of the basic concepts and building blocks involved in devices based on quantum properties of optics and of atom-optics interaction. The content of this course focuses on applications based on one to few photons, interacting with atoms. Therefore, it relies on a quantum optics background that will be introduced in the course. Recent applications and foreseen developments will also be covered.

1-laser-atom interaction as a coherent process
2-applications to the control of atoms by light and high precision measurement like atomic clock and atomic interferometer
3-the trapped ion case : quantum logic and quantum computation with two ions and laser beams
4-trapping atoms with light : the ultra-cold atom case and exemple of quantum simulator
5-Quantum Simulator based on Rydberg atoms
6-different protocole to entangle photons, use for quantum communications

Cours de base de physique quantique et d'électromagnétisme

Identification et compréhension des outils et des concepts de base mis en œuvre dans les technologies quantiques développées aujourd'hui, et basées sur des systèmes atomes/photons : des horloges atomiques aux telecom quantiques
