• Basic introduction to quantum mechanics;
• Quantization of the free electromagnetic field;
• Non-classical states of light and their statistics;
• Experiments in quantum optics;
• Semi-classical and fully quantized light-matter interaction;
• Non-Linear optics.

The course will give a basic introduction into the theoretical description of quantized light and quantized light-matter interaction. The derived formalism is then used to examine the properties of quantized light and to understand a number of peculiar quantum optical effects.

After active participation in the course, the students will be familiar with the basic concepts and phenomena of quantum optics and will be able to apply the derived formalism to other problems.
