Professor: Seth Cottrell
Class: PHYS 33500-M1 / PHYS V6150-M1
Lectures: T/Th 10:00-11:40, Marshak 418N
Things you need: the book, the syllabus, and a notational cheat sheet.
Homework: chapters 1 & 2 are due Thursday, 2/5
The Lab Manual: Is here. It describes the equipment and the experiments suggested by Thorlabs, but doesn't cover all of the experiments we'll be doing.
Chapter 6: Quantum Communication
A sci-am article that goes through quantum key distribution.
Chapter 5: Quantum Circuits
Chapter 4: Composite Systems
Chapter 3: Operators
Chapter 2: Measurements
This is a sci-am article about "ghost imaging" (which I failed to do in the second lab) and this is an experimental paper about using ghost imaging to get results from a (modest) photonic quantum computer, without ever passing light through the computer.
Chapter 1: The Quantum State
Quantum phenomena doesn't seem to have any particular scale. Here's a paper about doing the double slit experiment with gargantuan molecules, this one is about maintaining a superposition intact for about half an hour, and this one is about seeing entanglement (which we'll get to) in the physical vibrations of tiny drums.
