Seminar 2: The Multipolar Hamiltonian and Quantum Delocalization
Please note: this is apart of the seminar series, Light and Atoms. Seminar 3 will follow on April 21st.
We will derive the multipolar Hamiltonian and study the influence of quantum delocalization and atomic motion. We will analyze in what regimes different degrees of approximation of light-matter interactions in quantum optics and relativistic quantum information are reasonable and in what cases they need to be refined to capture the features of the light-matter interaction. This is particularly important when considering the quantum nature of the atomic center of mass.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
