Steven Girvin, Yale University, lecture during ITAMP/B2 Institute Winter Graduate School on AMO Physics held at the B2 campus in Arizona January 4-11,2013. Lecture 3. Quantum reservoir engineering -- how to manipulate the spectral density of shot noise in a cavity for useful purposes such as optomechanical cooling or autonomous feedback to stabilize a coherent superposition state of a quit (our recent expt/theory paper with the Siddiqi group at Berkeley) --I would introduce the concepts of quantum noise spectral density, shot noise, parametric coupling, etc.
