Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
The course provides an introduction to the mathematical framework of quantum theory without diving too deep into the physical details or the functional analytic issues. The aim is to understand several of the most prominent quantum effects such as entanglement, teleportation, no-cloning, uncertainty relations, Zeno effect, Berry phases, Unruh-and Casimir effects.
Learning Outcome
At the end of the module, students are familiar with the mathematical framework in which quantum theory is formulated. They are capable of understanding and explaining some of the most prominent quantum effects.
