PHYS534 - Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics
Course ID
035916
Course Description
Development of theoretical and conceptual framework required to understand and interpret light-matter interactions in atoms and molecules, especially in the interesting modern limits, such as, intense-fields, low-temperatures and fast timescales. Topics include: review of one-electron atomic systems, two and many-electron atomic systems, electronic structure and binding in molecules, static and time-dependent external fields, strong fields interactions, interactions on ultrafast timescales, laser cooling and trapping.
