PHYS-454: Quantum optics and quantum informationThis 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 cov
PHYS-344: Quantum mechanics for non-physicistsThis course introduces quantum mechanics to students who are interested in pursuing quantum science and technology but have not gone through the standard bachelor physics curriculum. The students will
MATH-561: Spectral theoryThis course is an introduction to the spectral theory of linear operators acting in Hilbert spaces. The main goal is the spectral decomposition of unbounded selfadjoint operators. We will also give el
CH-453: Molecular quantum dynamicsThe course covers several exact, approximate, and numerical methods to solve the time-dependent molecular Schrödinger equation, and applications including calculations of molecular electronic spectra.
CS-308: Introduction to quantum computationThe course introduces the paradigm of quantum computation in an axiomatic way. We introduce the notion of quantum bit, gates, circuits and we treat the most important quantum algorithms. We also touch
PHYS-745: Spin DynamicsThe course is conceived in the perspective of understanding the fundamentals of spintronics. This implies learning about magnetism at the quantum mechanical level, mechanisms for spin relaxation and
