This lecture describes advanced concepts and applications of quantum optics. It emphasizes the connection with ongoing research, and with the fast growing field of quantum technologies. The topics cover some aspects of quantum information processing, quant ...
Students will study fundamental principles of light-matter interaction and apply classical and quantum mechanical models for quantitative estimates. Optical phenomena in glasses, organic/inorganic semiconductors, liquid crystals, quantum dots as well as de ...
In this course we study heat transfer (and energy conversion) from a microscopic perspective. First we focus on understanding why classical laws (i.e. Fourier Law) are what they are and what are their limits of validity. Next we discuss emerging opportunit ...
Students will learn about understanding the fundamentals and applications of emerging nanoscale devices, materials
and concepts. Remark: at least 5 students should be enrolled for the course to be given ...
Optically excited 2D materials, host electron-hole pairs called excitons with high binding energies and long lifetimes. Deterministically stacked 2D materials form vdW heterostructures with versatile stacking configurations, making them highly versatile an ...
Organic semiconductors emerge as key materials for the digitization of our society. Students will learn about the working principles of thin organic film devices and understand the relationship between chemical structure, molecular packing and the resultin ...
