Outline and Purpose of the Course “Quantum state control of atoms using electromagnetic filed and radiation”
In this class, we will introduce atomic spectroscopy, laser cooling, and cold atomic systems as examples of quantum state control of atoms using electromagnetic field and radiation.
Course Goals Understanding atomic physics from a view of quantum state control of atoms using electromagnetic filed and radiation.
Schedule and Contents We will discuss the following topics. (decide on the details later)

1. Atomic spectroscopy (3~5 weeks)
The hydrogen atom, Multielectron atoms, Atoms in electromagnetic field, Interaction of atoms with radiation (semi-classical)
2. Interaction of atoms with radiation (4~6 weeks)
Quantum theory of radiation, Jaynes-Cummings model, Spontaneous emission, Cavity QED
3. Laser cooling and Cold atomic systems (3~5 weeks)
Laser cooling and trapping, Bose-Einstein condensation of atoms, Atomic interaction and Feshbach resonance, optical lattices
Course Requirements None
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Please do homework in order to follow the discussions in the class.
