Voraussetzungen
Classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, classical electrodynamics; higher quantum mechanics helpful but not necessary
Further Grading Information
If international students participate, lectures will be given in English. Excercises will be organized through Moodle.
[b]Abstract:[/b]
Quantum mechanics allows for matter to move in a superposition of different trajectories through space and time. Information about the motion can be deduced from interference effects. Transferring this principle to quantum technologies, atom interferometers have become high-precision inertial sensors. This lecture presents atom interferometry from a theoretical perspective: Starting at the dynamics of atomic wave packets in external potentials, via atom-light interaction to manipulate the matter waves, to the sensitivity to fundamental relativistic effects, the covered topics guide students towards state-of-the-art research.
