The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with the research groups carrying out research on quantum optical information in the Physics Department. The students spend half of a semester working with one of the active groups in the physics department that are involved with quantum information using optics. They should plan to be at the laboratory at least three hours a week. At the end of each rotation they make a public presentation (ten minutes maximum, APS format) and prepare a web page with their results.
This semester there may be possible experimental and/or theoretical projects with:
Steven L. Rolston rolston@umd.edu ,
Wendell Hill, wth@ipst.umd.edu ,
Luis A. Orozco lorozco@umd.edu ,
Schedule:
September 2. Organizational meeting where the professors present different projects to the students.
