users.physics.ox.ac.uk/~lvovsky/B3/ contain assorted PDFs from between 2015 and 2019
Syllabus reads:
  • Multi-electron atoms: central field approximation, electron configurations, shell structure, residual electrostatic interaction, spin orbit coupling (fine structure).
  • Spectra and energy levels: Term symbols, selection rules, X-ray notation, Auger transitions.
  • Hyperfine structure; effects of magnetic fields on fine and hyperfine structure. Presumably Zeeman effect.
  • Two level system in a classical light field: Rabi oscillations and Ramsey fringes, decaying states; Einstein
  • A and B coefficients; homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening of spectral lines; rate equations.
  • Optical absorption and gain: population inversion in 3- and 4-level systems; optical gain cross section; saturated absorption and gain.
Professor in 2000s seems to be
But as of 2023 marked emeritus, so who took over?
Ewart is actually religious:
This dude is pure trouble for Oxford!
www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/AndreiStarinets/sr_mt_2022.html (archive) contains 2022 problem sets and notes, well done Mr Andrei Starinets!
www-pnp.physics.ox.ac.uk/~barra/teaching.shtml As of 2023, contains some good 2015 materials: web.archive.org/web/20220525094139/http://www-pnp.physics.ox.ac.uk/~barra/teaching.shtml It was called "Subatomic physics" back then.
