PHYS 432 Quantum Physics II
This course builds on, and extends, the techniques learned in Quantum Physics I. Students will learn how to apply quantum mechanics to many-body systems and how to apply the standard approximation methods. An introduction to the quantum mechanics of light and atom-field interactions is given and applied to some mportant systems. This is then extended to examine how quantum mechanics can be applied to model open systems and includes an introduction to master equation techniques. Finally, the important topic of entanglement is addressed in detail.
