Advanced Quantum Engineering II

Undergraduate / Graduate

Quantum mechanics underlies many areas of modern engineering, including materials science, photonics, electronics, metrology, and information processing. This course will give students a grounding in foundational aspects of quantum theory that play a crucial role in understanding and developing quantum technologies. Topics to be discussed may include perturbation theory (time-dependent and time-independent), the addition of angular momentum, many-particle systems and exchange statistics, quantum entanglement, Bell's theorem, the quantum adiabatic theorem, scattering theory, and path-integral methods. This course assumes that students have taken a prior graduate-level quantum mechanics course.
