Open Quantum System course (University of Valencia)
Abril 27, 2023
We are glad to announce the course «Open Quantum Systems» lead by Dr Themistoklis Mavrogordatos, Severo Ochoa excellence fellow at Institut de Ciències Fotòniques (ICFO) (Barcelona).
The course will take place between Monday, 29th May and Thursday, 1st June, in the Applied Physics Department of the University of Valencia (seminar room). The registration is free, and you can find it here.
Course Syllabus:
Lecture 1: Deriving and employing the Lindblad Master Equation. Two pivotal examples: the harmonic oscillator and resonance fluorescence.
Lecture 2: Light-matter interaction in open quantum systems, and the small quantum noise limit. From the operation of the laser to the Jaynes-Cummings nonlinearity.
Lecture 3: Construction of quantum trajectories from photoelectric detection. Applications of different unravelings and understanding of inference from a quantum information perspective.
Lecture 4: Breakdown of photon blockade in the Jaynes-Cummings model. Reappraising complementarity and wave/particle duality: theory and modern experiments.
Themistoklis Mavrogordatos received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from the National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece, in 2009, and the Ph.D. degree in emission properties of dye-doped liquid crystal resonators from the University of Cambridge, U.K., in 2014. Following two postdoctoral appointments at the University College London in optomechanics and circuit quantum electrodynamics, he worked as a PDRA under the supervision of Jonas Larson at Stockholm University, with whom he co-authored the book The Jaynes-Cummings Model and its Descendants (IOP Publishing, 2021). He is currently a Severo Ochoa Excellence Fellow in the Quantum Optics Theory group of M. Lewenstein at ICFO in Barcelona.
