Learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students are able to classify current journal articles in theoretical quantum dynamics, to understand their basic concepts, and to introduce themselves to new articles.

Subject of course

(Quantum) Physics:

  • on the nanoscale (new materials, Graphene, Quantum chaos)

  • on ultrashort time scales (atoms, molecules, and solids in extremely short laser pulses)

  • at ultracold temperatures (matter waves, Bose-Einstein condensates, atoms in optical lattices)

Within the summer term 2019 we will focus on physics on ultrashort time scales (Femto- and Attosecondphysics).
