L A S E R - A Film By Clifford V. Johnson

I just watched a short film by Clifford V. Johnson on the science that goes behind the production of a laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation). It is well done and explains the concept with clarity. But besides that it is also fun to watch!

About Me

My photo
The Quantum Poet
West Los Angeles, Calfornia, United States
I completed my doctoral degree in quantum information science from the computer science department at the University of Southern California under Dr. Todd Brun's supervision. This blog is an attempt to distill my thoughts on quantum information science and my intellectual escapades in Los Angeles. I also completed a short post-doc with Todd on Huffman coding and error-correction. I left academia over a decade ago to wander into the tech industry. I've since worked in several small to mid-size start-ups, advised a few, and now work at Transunion, one of the big three credit agencies in the U.S. These days I am interested in quantum machine learning, and slowly learning this exciting new field and how one can leverage quantum-classical workflows for modeling real-world business use cases.
