About this course
To equip you with the necessary theoretical and numerical tools to understand the diverse emergent phenomena originating from strong light-matter interaction. The course will provide you with basics on optical properties of two-dimensional materials and you will be introduced to research-level methodologies to treat their strong interaction with classical and quantum light.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the learner will be able to: • List the relevant symmetries in 2D materials; • Construct tight-binding models for most representative 2D materials; • Model the optical response of 2D Materials; • Derive Electric and Magnetic Fields in quantized form; • List and explain the different gauge choices; • Derive Light-matter coupling from local charge conservation; • Explain the consequence of periodic laser driving of materials; • Apply Floquet theory to engineer band structures in 2D materials; • Model the formation of composite polaritons
