Homodyne detection interpretation in the Quantum Optics scenario

Organizzato dall'Istituto di Tecnologie della Comunicazione, dell'Informazione e della Percezione domani 18 settembre alle ore 15.30 in Aula Blu, presso la sede di Via Moruzzi 1 - Area del CNR - Loc. San Cataldo,  il Prof. Simone Cialdi del Technology Lab del Dipartimento di Fisica “Aldo Pontremoli”, Università degli Studi di Milano terrà un seminario aperto a tutti sul tema: Homodyne detection interpretation in the Quantum Optics scenario.

Abstract:

In this lecture, we briefly review some basic elements of quantum optics and their application to continuous-variable in order to describe the homodyne detection in the quantum scenario. A particular emphasis is devoted to the explanation of vacuum quantum fluctuations and their role in homodyne detection and more generally in the field of non-relativistic quantum mechanics.
