Title:

A PDE Perspective on Many-body Problems in Quantum Optics

Abstract:

Quantum optics is the quantum theory of the interaction of light and matter. This talk will present a survey of recent results on related many-body problems.  In this setting, there is a close connection to kinetic equations for nonlocal PDEs with random coefficients. Time permitting, I will also discuss related inverse scattering problems.
