Quantum Optics describes the behavior of quanta of light ' photons ' as they flow through our world or interact with matter. Increasingly, concepts from this field are at the core of complex experiments and emerging technologies. This course introduces the basic principles of quantum optics, the use of nanophotonics to enhance these effects, and then applies these to select topics within this growing field. PREREQUISITE: PHYS-432/ENPH-431 and PHYS/ENPH-345 or equivalent. EXCLUSION: PHYS-882*
