APPPHYS 363: Modern Physics and Literature (ENGLISH 363)

Reading and discussion of selected works of contemporary literature (fiction) and philosophy that engage concepts of modern physics grounded in relativity and quantum theory. This is intended as a seminar that mixes students from physical sciences and the arts/humanities, with no specific prerequisites-- we will discuss the physics invoked by works of fiction and philosophy in a conceptually rigorous but non-mathematical way. How do writers of speculative fiction make sense of challenging ontological claims from empirical science, what implications do they explore, and how is the worldview of theoretical physics augmented or contested?

APPPHYS 376: Literature of Quantum Simulation

This course will explore key literature regarding quantum simulation, the use of atoms and qubits to emulate complex quantum matter of relevance to condensed matter physics, high-energy physics, and quantum information processing. Advanced topics including optical lattice-based and ion-trap quantum simulation, synthetic gauge fields, low-dimensional systems, nonequilibrium quantum many-body physics, and many-body cavity QED will be addressed in a seminar format. Presentations and a final paper will be required. Prerequisites: Quantum mechanics at the advanced undergraduate or 1st-year graduate level. May be repeated for credit.

APPPHYS 383: Introduction to Atomic Processes

Atomic spectroscopy, matrix elements using the Coulomb approximation, summary of Racah algebra, oscillator and line strengths, Einstein A coefficients. Radiative processes, Hamiltonian for two- and three-state systems, single- and multi-photon processes, linear and nonlinear susceptibilities, density matrix, brightness, detailed balance, and electromagnetically induced transparency. Inelastic collisions in the impact approximation, interaction potentials, Landau-Zener formulation. Continuum processes, Saha equilibrium, autoionization, and recombination.

APPPHYS 384: Advanced Topics in AMO Physics (PHOTON 384)

This course will develop the subject of Strong-Field QED. Topics to be covered include: The structure of the quantum vacuum;relativistic laser-vacuum interactions;linear and non-linear Compton and Breit-Wheeler pair-production processes;vacuum polarization and vacuum tunneling; the radiation reaction problem in strong fields;applications in astrophysics and cosmology. The course will also cover experimental methods, including petawatt lasers with focused intensities sufficient to destabilize the vacuum. Prerequisites: familiarity with quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and special relativity.

APPPHYS 389: Physical Analysis of Artworks (APPPHYS 189, ARCHLGY 189)

Students explore the use of Stanford Nano Shared Facilities (SNSF) for physical analysis of material samples of interest for art conservation, technical art history and archaeology. Weekly SNSF demonstrations will be supplemented by lectures on intellectual context by Stanford faculty/staff and conservators from the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF). Students will undertake analysis projects derived from ongoing conservation efforts at FAMSF, including training on the use of relevant SNSF instruments and data analysis.
