This is an advanced quantum physics course, where we focus on certain modern aspects of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. This includes the quantum description of composite systems, quantum entanglement and density matrices, quantum information and coherent quantum states.
We examine the basic elements of the theory, and show how simple quantum models, the two-level system and the harmonic oscillator, can be used to illustrate many of these aspects of quantum theory.
The following subjects are included in the course:
