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.

(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)

More details about those topics can be found on our homepage!

Depending on the selected Literature

First meeting: Thursday October 14th 2021, 4 pm, zoom https://tuwien.zoom.us/j/7935134827

How it works: each week 1 publication will be covered which should have been read by everyone. After a short informal presentation by one student there will be a group discussion.

Theoretical as well as experimental articles will be covered.

Each week, students are given one article to work through and prepare questions for a discussion. At the end of the term, one paper has to be summarized.

If you are interested please sign up for the course in TISS (unsubscribing  is always possible).

Scientific publications (Physical Review, Journal of Physics, Nature, Science, ...)
