The goal of the course is to introduce relativistic quantum field theory as the conceptual and mathematical framework describing fundamental interactions. ...
To introduce several advanced topics in quantum physics, including
semiclassical approximation, path integral, scattering theory, and
relativistic quantum mechanics ...
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 ...
The course will introduce basic concepts for the description of electrons in condensed matter from a microscopic many-body approach,
and relate results obtained by quantum field theoretical methods to properties of the many-electron wave functions underly ...
This course introduces modern field-theoretical approaches to non-equilibrium systems. Through practical examples from quantum gases/optics, we construct the Keldysh formalism and explore the connections to classical stochastic field theory, hydrodynamics, ...
