8.422 Atomic and Optical Physics II (Spring 2013, MIT OCW). Instructor: Professor Wolfgang Ketterle. This is the second of a two-semester subject sequence beginning with Atomic and Optical Physics I (8.421) that provides the foundations for contemporary research in selected areas of atomic and optical physics. Topics covered include non-classical states of light?squeezed states; multi-photon processes, Raman scattering; coherence?level crossings, quantum beats, double resonance, superradiance; trapping and cooling-light forces, laser cooling, atom optics, spectroscopy of trapped atoms and ions; atomic interactions?classical collisions, quantum scattering theory, ultracold collisions; and experimental methods.
