Ph 221 - Experimental Techniques in AMO Physics

This course provides an introduction to key experimental techniques in atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics. Topics include noise and random processes, feedback and control theory, electronics, photon detection, and optics. These concepts are explored through their applications in modern quantum-science experiments, such as optical atomic clocks and neutral-atom quantum computers. The course is designed to equip students with the technical foundation necessary to understand, improve, and develop advanced experimental systems in typical AMO laboratories.
