PHYS-463: Computational quantum physicsThe numerical simulation of quantum systems plays a central role in modern physics. This course gives an introduction to key simulation approaches, through lectures and practical programming exercises
PHYS-407: Frontiers in nanosciencesThe students understand the relevant experimental and theoretical concepts of nanoscale science. The course covers basic concepts like quantum size effects and their characterization techniques, and h
PHYS-207: Quantum mechanics IThe objective of this course is to familiarize the student with the concepts, methods and consequences of quantum physics.
PHYS-419: Solid state physics IIIThe aim of this course is to provide an introduction to the theory of a few remarkable phenomena of modern condensed matter physics ranging from the quantum Hall effects to superconductivity.
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
