Week11b: Quantum Optics

In this ultra fast speed-run of quantum optics, we go over the very basics of how we can think about optics in a way consistent with quantum theory. Although we've already used photons, a fully quantum description involves vacuum energy, and non-trivial phase and amplitude variation. We'll go over a way to measure the quantum optical state (homodyne tomography) and illustrate what we see when we look at "classical" states like lasers, vs vacuum, single photon and "squeezed" states. *NOTE* as pointed out by Kamil Çınar, the labels on the plot for the squeezed state are reversed! Yellow is vacuum and blue is the squeezed state.
