Quantum Optics Seminar by Jéssica Oliveira de Almeida

From quantum metrology to solid state spectroscopy

Quantum optical experiments are a fundamental tool to understand and verify quantum phenomena. Here I address problems ranging from image resolution to solid state spectroscopy, exploring tools to detect quantum effects from feasible measurement strategies. On imaging resolution, I discuss how quantum metrology allows the proposal of measurement strategies capable of resolving two incoherent sources very close to each other, beyond the fundamental limit on image resolution. In solid state spectroscopy, I show methods to obtain properties of the electronic structure of a material from the high-harmonic generated in the interaction with a strong pulsed laser field, such as topological properties or mobility edges.
