Quantum Optical Communications: Course Description
'Quantum Optical Communications' is a free OpenCourseWare from MIT that teaches students about nonlinear optics, quantum optics, single-mode and two-mode quantum systems, quantum systems theory and multi-mode quantum systems. The course is categorized into sections addressing various quantum optical communication topics that enhance students' understanding. Some in-depth lecture topics include the quantum harmonic oscillator, single-mode photodetection, teleportation, quantum cryptography and continuous-time photodetection. Students using this OpenCourseWare should have previous experience in linear algebra and an introductory level of knowledge in communication, control and signal processing. The on-campus course was taught by MIT professor Jeffrey H. Shapiro in 2004 as a lecture class twice a week.
This free course includes lecture notes, problem sets and a reading list. If you are interested in taking this free course, visit the quantum optical communications course page.
