School of Physics - Andre's teaching

Andre has or is currently teaching three courses in the department. In addition, this year he has hosted Tom Stace to teach a Quantum Optics course in the School. The notes for these courses are to be found below:

Tom's Quantum Optics Course 2009

Lecture 1 - Introduction to field/useful definitions

Lecture 2 (part a - states of light) (part b - atom field interactions)

Lecture 3 - Density Matrix, Master Equations and Decoherence

Tutorial
