ECE 383-P Introduction to Quantum Photonics
This course will introduce the basic principle of quantum optics and the use of photonic systems for quantum information applications. We will start from the quantization of electromagnetic fields. Then we will introduce common quantum states of light, and corresponding generation methods. The detection and transformation of quantum states of light will also be covered. We will further expand the discussion to hybrid systems where optics interacts with other degrees of freedoms, such as acoustics and microwave fields, at the quantum level. In the end, the basics of quantum communications and quantum sensing with photonic systems will be discussed.
