Summer School on Quantum and Non-Linear Optics 2010
The 5th Summer School on quantum and nonlinear optics (QNLO) welcomes students from all over the world. The objective of the summer school is to introduce the participants to modern and very hot topics of quantum and nonlinear optics with emphasis on quantum information and quantum metrology.
We have gathered a list of internationally known experts with complementary backgrounds in the theoretical and experimental aspects of QNLO. Along a steep learning curve, the invited experts will present a span of lectures from basic concepts to cutting edge research. The school therefore offers high-level and intense training of the foundations and current frontiers in QNLO with strong focus on quantum information and metrology.
The summer school is intended to advanced graduate students with a basic background knowledge in quantum and non-linear optics. The number of participants is restricted to 60.
The summer school will take place in August 22-28 2010 at the old castle, Sandbjerg Estate, in the beautiful settings of southern Denmark.
The cost of the summer school is Euro 1,000 which includes lodging, food and tuition. There are a very limited number of travel grants available. They are mainly reserved for students from oversea destinations who cannot get support from other sources.
Please note that the deadline for registration is July 1, 2010.
Please also note that PhD students can be credited 5.0 ECTS credits for their successful participation in all tutorials.
At the summer school, the following topics will be discussed:
-
Nonlinear and integrated quantum optics (incl. parametric down conversion, non-linear fiber optics, quantum imaging, slow light and quantum metrology)
-
Nano-mechanical quantum oscillators (incl. cooling of oscillators, strong coupling to light and atoms, and quantum metrology)
-
Physics of Atomic ensembles (incl. quantum information processing, quantum metrology and fundamental properties)
-
Physics of Quantum dots and NV centers in diamond and their coupling to light (for quantum information and metrology)
