Séminaire de Mathilde Hugbart (CNRS-INPHYNI)

Séminaire donné par Mathilde Hugbart (CNRS - INstitut de PHYsique de Nice (INPHYNI)) le 25 avril 2022 à 11h00 dans l'auditorium de l'Institut d'Optique à Palaiseau, sur le thème : " Intensity correlations: from atoms to stars ".

Résumé : " The study of fluctuations and correlations often gives access to information not contained in averaged values. Among the many statistical properties of a fluctuating field, the intensity correlation function is largely used in different fields, from astronomy, to quantum optics, particle physics, and to mesoscopic optics. In this talk, I will present what has been recently done with this technique to study the light scattered by a cold atomic cloud as well as our recent development to revive intensity interferometry in astronomy.
