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
MICRO-435: Quantum and nanocomputingThe course teaches non von-Neumann architectures. The first part of the course deals with quantum computing, sensing, and communications. The second focuses on field-coupled and conduction-based nanoc
MATH-600: Optimization and simulationMaster state-of-the art methods in optimization with heuristics and simulation.
Work involves:
- reading the material beforehand
- class hours to discuss the material and solve problems
- homework
PHYS-432: Quantum field theory IIThe goal of the course is to introduce relativistic quantum field theory as the conceptual and mathematical framework describing fundamental interactions such as Quantum Electrodynamics.
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
CH-340: Methods in spectroscopy and dynamicsWe will review modern technique for the determination of structure and dynamics in chemistry.
Recent developments in spectroscopy as well as methods that target the fundamentals of chemical reactions
PHYS-510: Spintronics : basics and applicationsThe course introduces the concepts necessary to understand and describe the reading and writing process of a magnetic bit. Similarities and differences between a classical and a quantum bit are addres
MSE-464: Assembly techniquesIntroduction to the assembly of materials by homogeneous or heterogeneous joints (welding, bonding, mechanical assembly). Mechanical and environmental resistance of joints.
