After successful completion of the course, students are able to digest basic concepts of open quantum systems, to describe a theoretical model of dynamics involving the decoherence induced by the environment as well as to apply those to Rydberg atoms.
Quantum objects interacting with light (Bloch equation), ensemble effects (homogeneous/inhomogeneous broadening), interaction with quantized light (Jaynes Cummings mode), decoherence induced by coupling to reservoir (Lindblad equation), and applications with Rydberg atoms (Rydberg molecules, Dipole-blockade, etc)
During the lecture basic concepts are explained and exercises are solved for better understanding.
The lecture is held in English. The first lecture will be on 11.10.2023 at 10:00 in Sem.R. DB gelb 10.
Grading is based on a written report and an oral exam
