Many fascinating things are going on in theoretical physics and it is hard to keep up with everything. Wouldn't it be great to sit down, relax, and have a fellow graduate student introduce a topic of your choice

in a pedagogical way? This is precisely the idea behind this seminar. Ph.D. students get together, with the oversight from postdocs and professors, to teach each other topics that are needed to be able to follow modern developments in the broad field of theoretical quantum physics, but go beyond the level that is usually taught in graduate courses. The lectures are given by the participants, and are to be pedagogical: the idea is to actually learn something concrete, and to omit statements like "it can be shown". Since DPA has sizable research groups both in atomic-molecular-optical and condensed-matter physics, we aim to focus on topics that are of interest to both communities.

Main Course Topics:

  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Quantum Optics
  • Quantum-Classical Methods
  • Quantum Information Science
  • Open Quantum Systems
  • Quantum Many-Body Systems (in and out of equilibrium)
  • Quantum Field Theory
  • Numerical and Symbolic Packages for Computational Quantum Physics

News

  • The course starts on Wednesday, February 14 at 12:40PM in ISE 417.

Course Motto

  • In teaching, writing, and research, there is no greater clarifier than a well-chosen example.
  • Formalism should not be introduced for its own sake, but only when it is needed for some particular problem.
