COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course will survey the basic principles and methods of quantum
mechanics and use them in real problems of contemporary interest, primarily in
the context of solid state physics and quantum optics. Specific topics we discuss include: ‘spintronic’
phenomena and devices, quantum information processing in quantum engineered
structures, physics and applications of carbon nanotubes, non-perturbative
nonlinear optics, and Bose-Einstein condensation of excitons.
This course will NOT be offered in Spring 2006.
