PHYS-415: Particle physics IPresentation of particle properties, their symmetries and interactions.
Introduction to quantum electrodynamics and to the Feynman rules.
MATH-328: Algebraic geometry I - CurvesAlgebraic geometry is the common language for many branches of modern research in mathematics. This course gives an introduction to this field by studying algebraic curves and their intersection theor
ME-469: Nano-scale heat transferIn 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
PHYS-313: Quantum physics IThe objective of this course is to familiarize the student with the concepts, methods and consequences of quantum physics.
MATH-495: Mathematical quantum mechanicsQuantum mechanics is one of the most successful physical theories. This course presents the mathematical formalism (functional analysis and spectral theory) that underlies quantum mechanics. It is sim
PHYS-746: Before and Behind the Standard ModelThe course offers a conceptually and methodologically advanced overview of the Standard Model and of some of its extensions. It provides the students with the basic tools and with the first elements o
CH-360: Atoms and radiationThis course discusses the interaction between atoms and visible electro-magnetic radiation and introduces the main instrumentation for light detection and spectroscopy. The principles of LASER light s
PHYS-817: SupersymmetrySupersymmetry is the unique quantum extension of the symmetry principles of relativity.
This course offers a first but broad introduction covering the role of Supersymmetry in our understanding of bot
