| Learning Outcome: | After successfully completing the module, students have acquired knowledge of quantum-mechanical description of light-induced processes. They have achieved a conceptual and quantitative understanding of microscopic processes behind interaction of atoms, molecules and materials with light. They know about modern ultrafast light-induced phenomena. |
| Contents: | Quantization of an electromagnetic field, examples for electromagnetic states, application of perturbation theory to the interaction of electromagnetic fields with matter, absorption, scattering and emission of photons, photoionization, interaction with x-ray light, relaxation processes, state lifetime, nonperturbative light-matter interaction, Floquet theory. |
