Quantum Optics 1 : Single Photons
by Alain AspectTop Instructor , Michel BruneTop Instructor- 4.8
Approx. 33 hours to complete
This course gives you access to basic tools and concepts to understand research articles and books on modern quantum optics. You will learn about quantization of light, formalism to describe quantum states of light without any classical analogue, and observables allowing one to demonstrate typical quantum properties of these states. ....
AstroTech: The Science and Technology behind Astronomical Discovery
by Andy Lawrence , Catherine Heymans- 4.7
Approx. 6 hours to complete
"How do they know that? " Modern astronomy has made some astonishing discoveries - how stars burn and how black holes form; galaxies from the edge of the universe and killer rocks right next door; where the elements come from and how the expanding universe is accelerating. But how do we know all that?...
