100 años de revolución cuántica

This is about the Lectures I will give in Medellin to celebrate the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics (I will discuss why the date is actually not the best one in the 2nd Lecture) as part of the La Escuela-Congreso “100 años de revolución cuántica”.

Lectures

The photon in space and time

  • HBT
  • $g^{2}(\mathbf{r},\tau)$
  • single-photon sources
  • correlations in vortices

Why we don't need the Wiener-Khintchine theorem

  • Wiener-Khintchine
  • sensor formalism
  • 2PS
  • bundler

To See or not to See

  • sub-natural linewidth antibunching
  • resonance fluorescence
  • two-photon everywhere
  • multiphoton emission from a single-photon source through mean-field engineering

Three exercises to publish

  • The Mollow Tesseract
  • Beyond the Bundler
  • SPIM

Colloquium

The Physics of Light-Matter Interactions

I will also give a Colloquium on wondrous feast of wondrous particles (polaritons).
