Optics: what is light?

Classical Optics
Newton etc: (classical) particle (corpuscular)/ray theory
Huygens-Young (interference)-Fresnel (diffraction)- Maxwell
wave optics
Birth of photons --- (1st) birth of quantum optics)
Plancks photon (light quantum)
Wave-particle duality (DeBroglie etc.)
Lec 2 will review some basics
Prerequisite 1: Classical Optics

Quantum
Birth of Quantum Mechanics/Physics is also (1st) birth of quantum optics
Plancks photons (blackbody radiation, quantized energy of light)
Einsteins Photoelectric effect (photoemission/photodetection)
Compton scattering (light-electron scattering)
Subtlety: these phenom. do not directly prove quantum nature of photons
(rather some quantum nature of light-matter interaction)

Formulation of quantum mechanics: Schrodinger/Heisenberg

[quantize electron motion --- foundation to atomic & solid state physics]
Quantum Field Theory/quantum electrodynamics (QED): Dirac etc.
[quantize E&M (and other) fields --- foundation to modern q. optics]
Lec 3 will review some basics
Prerequisite 2: Quantum mechanics (or at least a good modern physics)

Course Requirement & Grading Components

1) Homework (approximately every 1-2 weeks): 30 points
2) Papers/Projects: 30 points consisting of 2 parts (15 pts each):
2a) a lecture notes (review article style) for an assigned lecture and upload to wiki within 2 weeks from the
assigned lecture (every student will be assigned to 1lecture based on class list, see wiki);
2b) a paper reviewing either a classic experiment/milestone achievement (before 2002) [undergrad only] or a
topic not covered in lectures (eg. one from a relevant seminar), or a current frontier area/topic of your
interest. You can find suggested topic in lecture slides though you are not limited to them. I encourage you to
check with me about your topic and not to wait to the last week to upload so you may be selected for
presentation. Revision can be made till last class.

3) Final Exam: 30 pts

4) Class Participation/Service (10pts) that can be earned in several ways (extra will be bonus):
4a) Occasional in class quizzes (1 pt for each problem);
4b) great question/comment/correct a non-trivial mistake in lecture (0.5-1 pt per incidence);
4c) Attend one of the eligible related seminars (see list under Wiki/Seminars) and have either speaker/host
sign a form [see wiki] after the talk to prove your attendance (1 pt for each seminar attended);
4d) Give a 10-15 min presentation on your paper/research, or volunteer to teach a topic or explain a concept
of interest that may fit into a given lecture (5 pt per presentation, consult with instructor to schedule)
4e) Other service that enhances class learning; eg. offer to give a lab tour to class members of your research
lab (5 pts; must be approved of both your lab supervisor & Prof. Chen)

Final Grade: A (>85); B(>70); C(>55); D(>40); [typical sufficient condition, subject to minor change]
