• Review of basic quantum mechanics • Dirac equation and relativistic corrections • Quantization of the electromagnetic field and consequences • Many-electron atoms • Molecular structure • Interaction with electromagnetic fields • Time-dependent processes • Scattering and collisions • Quantum statistics and quantum gases • AMO Physics in Heidelberg (with laboratory visits)
Goal
After completing this course the students will be able to ż describe the experimental and theoretical concepts of modern atomic, molecular and optical physics, ż analyse standard experimental approaches of modern atomic, molecular and optical physics, ż design simple experimental set-ups in modern atomic, molecular and optical physics, ż apply the theoretical methods to simple practical examples.

This lecture covers both fundamental and applied aspects of optical phenomena that are primarily relevant to modern science. Our description will be based first on a classical and then on a quantum description of radiation, matter and their interactions. Connections to ongoing fundamental research as well as to the rapidly growing field of quantum technologies will be illustrated.The lecture is complementary to the lecture "Advanced Atomic and Molecular Physics" and the course "Experimental Methods in Atomic and Molecular Physics", which are offered in the winter and summer semesters, respectively. No previous knowledge of these lectures is required. Instead, basic knowledge in electromagnetism and quantum physics is needed.
Basic knowledge in electromagnetism and quantum physics is required.

• Ray optics • Wave optics • Beam optics, Gaussian optics • Fourier optics • Interference and coherence • Photons and atoms • Laser theory and lasertypes • Ultra-short laser pulses • Non-linear optics • Modern applications
Goal
After completing this course the students will be able to ż describe the basic principles and experimental methods of optics and photonics, ż analyse standard experimental approaches to optics and photonics, ż design experimental set-ups in optics and photonics, ż apply the methods to simple experimental examples.

In this seminar, we will cover YOUR topic of interest in physics. If you still want to find and/or develop your passion for a specific science area, I can provide some stimulus in terms of topics to choose from. However, I highly appreciate if you already know your topic of choice and introduce it to your fellow students and myself, and we can all discuss it together.
This seminar, in general, aims at current and foundational experimental and theoretical advances of physics.
The idea is to prepare presentations and to discuss topics of interest in physics, such as landmark historical or recent experiments but also experimental or numerical methods (e.g. computational physics), depending on interest and initiative of you as participants. Each seminar talk, given by a student, should introduce into the fundamentals of the chosen topic in a manner understandable to any general physics student of your own academic age, and present one or two noteworthy recent results or achievements in this field.
A key goal is to explore and develop your own scientific curiosity and passion for physics questions of interest to you, concepts, necessary methodology and past, current and potential future research. It thus requires from you as participants the openness towards these goals, readiness for lively discussions, creative new ways of sharing knowledge, as well as independence in searching for, organizing, presenting novel information with your fellow student participants of this seminar series and engaging them in (constructive as well as critical) discussions.
Looking forward to learning together with you.
Our first meeting will be on 14(!) October 2024, 17:00 (note the unusual time for our first meeting, the seminar will afterwards run Mondays from 16:15-17:45) in SeminarRoom 1.404 at KIP (INF227) where we will assign the dates for your presentations. We will then meet at this time in the same place for the following seminar meetings as well.
