Quantum Optics
If a scientific discipline should be reduced to one concept only, quantum optics could be defined as the science of photons correlations.
The first experimental evidence of non-classical light is from Burnham and Weinberg.[1]
Key Concepts and Problems
- photons correlations (as measured by, e.g., $g^{(2)}$) including frequency-resolved photon correlations.
- Single-Photon Sources (or SPS), in particular Antibunching.
- Resonance fluorescence, Parametric fluorescence, etc.
- Single-molecule spectroscopy.
