Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Introduction to concepts and realizations of advanced experiments in quantum optics (Arndt) and quantum information processing (Walther).
In Quantum Optics, we will focus on the interaction of light and matter and how this allows to prepare quantum states of matter.
In Quantum Information, we will focus on concepts, algorithms and experimental realizations in photon-based quantum information processing.

Assessment and permitted materials

In the exercise class, we will deepen our understanding of the concepts conveyed in the lecture "260010 VO Experiments in Quantum Optics and Quantum Information" and apply them to relevant practical problems. Students may also be asked to prepare short summaries of recent research papers. All tools are allowed for the exercises.

NOTE: You must be registered in order to participate in the exercise class. Registration for the exercises is not required for the module exam but strongly recommended. All students registered after the deregistration deadline (see u:find for details) will be graded.

Plase also note that in order to give students on the waiting list a chance, unexcused absence in the first session will result in automatic deregistration from the course.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Weekly problem sets will be posted and every student must present at least one solution in front of the class. A 10-minute test at the beginning of each exercise class will help you stay on track. The content of these mini tests will be taken from the previous lectures and problem set. Otherwise, the exercises are meant to be your training and learning field. Use them as interactively as you can.

In order to pass, students are required to
- attend at least 80% of the classes
- solve at least 50% of the posted exercises
- present at least one solution on the blackboard

The final grade will be composed of the points attained in the mini tests (50%) and the quality of the blackboard presentations (50%).

The grading key is as follows:
87,5% - 100% => 1 (Very good)
74,5% - 87,0% => 2 (Good)
61,5% - 74,0% => 3 (Satisfactory)
49,5% - 61,0% => 4 (Sufficient)
0% - 49,0% => 5 (Fail)

Examination topics

The lecture content of the previous week is recapitulated and graded in a 10 min online test at the beginning of each exercise.

The quality of the blackboard presentations will be assessed based on correctness, completeness and clarity.

Reading list

Will be discussed in the lecture.
