1. OBE
Definition 0.25 p
Equation of motion 0.5p. If not defined quantities with tilde, -0.1p.
RWA 0.25 p
2. Coherent state
< n > = |a|^2 0.4p
Delta n = |a| 0.4p
If answered with variance instead of std dev, -0.1p
Part b, 0.2p
Lasers give approx coherent states; broadened by spont em and phase diffuses in time
3. Quantum measurement
Definition as in the lecture notes to Lecture 18.
Particular case instead of general state (e.g. two-level): -0.25p
Unnormalized final state -0.25p
Fail to mention probability |Cj|^2: -0.25p
4. 3-level laser
N1 << N2
B_01 < W > small
A_10 large
0.2p each for the above. 0.4p for correct equation of motion
5. Bunched, Poissonian
0.4 for bunched, 0.4 for Poissonian, 0.2 for sketch
