🎓 Imperial Course Notes

This repository contains my notes and codes for various physics-related courses I've taken in Imperial College London. Each course has its own folder. Below is a brief overview of each one.


📚 Contents

The notes in this folder include topics such as:

  • Elements of quantum mechanics and quantum information (quantum cryptography)
  • Quantum algorithms
  • Physical realisation - trapped ions
  • Decoherence and quantum error correction
  • Properties and applications of entangled states

This course dives into the world of quantum optics. The notes in this folder cover topics like:

  • Semi-classical atom-field interaction (optical Bloch equations, Ramsey interferometry)
  • Field quantisation (Fock states, coherent states)
  • Fluctuations and correlations (Mach-Zahnder interferometry, Hanbury-Brown-Twiss experiment, Hong-Ou-Mandel effect)
  • Quasi-probabilities (Wigner function, Husimi function)
  • Current quantum optical experiments
  • Atom-field interaction (dipole interaction, Jaynes-Cumming model)

This course covers various mathematical methods used in physics. The notes in this folder include topics such as:

  • Vector spaces and tensors
  • Green functions
  • Hilbert spaces and Sturm-Liouville theory
  • Integral transforms
  • Calculus of variations
