Lecture 2.
Henning Moritz, Universität Hamburg
Abstract: In the first half of my course, optics for PhD students, I will cover applied lab knowledge on CW optics. I will try to give a reasonable intuition for Fourier optics, discuss peculiarities of optical elements such as polarising beam splitters, wave plates, isolators, optical fibres as well as review which lens types to use under which circumstances (singlets, doublets, aspheres) and possibly give a brief introduction on which cameras to use for which application.
In the second part I will give a short introduction how neutral Rydberg atom (and if time permits superconducting) quantum computers work, with an emphasis on the experimental implementation of single and two qubit gates rather than on any algorithms.
Lecturer: Henning Moritz is professor in the Institute for Quantum Physics, at the University of Hamburg, Quantum Matter Group. Key aspects of activity are
- strongly correlated systems, quantum phase transitions
- interacting fermions in optical lattices
- low dimensional systems
- nonequilibrium phenomena, transport
- mesoscopic physics, atomic gases in nanostructures
