Introduction to the experiments and theoretical concepts of atom optics and matter-wave optics. In atom and matter-wave optics, the wave-like properties of matter are utilized for the manipulation and control of matter (often by laser light), and are centrally important for an understanding of physics at the atomic level and for modern quantum optics applications. This course will introduce some new concepts, but will primarily cover foundational and groundbreaking atom-optics ideas and experimental results.
