Few-body quantum physics - From quantum optics to solids: Lecture and tutorial – Overview

News:

• The "Scheine" for participants of the exam will be available after Sep. 1st. Details how to get them will be published here from that date on.
• The last regular lecture will take place on Friday, July 24. There will be one extra lecture on Friday July 31. There will be no lecture on Thursday, July 30. 
• If you would like to take the exam, please send an email to fabian.grusdtATphysikDOTuni-muenchenDOTde until July 9, 2020!
• Problem set requirements: To qualify for the final exam, active participation in the tutorials is required: this can be done by EITHER of the following two:

1. Handing in 50% or more solutions for every problem set [as pdf to fabian.grusdtATphysikDOTuni-muenchenDOTde - no later than 24 h before the tutorial] ,   OR
2. Thorough presentation of (in total) two solutions to problem sets [optional: sign up (first-come-first-serve) for a problem via fabian.grusdtATphysikDOTuni-muenchenDOTde].

• The lecture will take place online via Zoom video conference. To participate, please sign up via LSF to obtain the link to the lecture room -- or send an email request from your campus email to fabian.grusdtATphysikDOTuni-muenchenDOTde.
• Problem set 1 has been updated. The first tutorial takes place on Fri., May 8th 2020.

Klausuren / ECTS / Scheine

The lecture is for advanced Bachelor and Master students of physics, 6 ECTS-points for lecture + tutorials. Criterion: final exam + participation in tutorials.
