Learning Outcome
After successful participation in the module the student can
use the basic methods of literature retrieval, condense their knowlegde from scientific papers into a presentation and obtain presentation skills.
They have learned about current experiments in quantum optics.

Learning and Teaching Methods
The learning outcomes of this module will be developed through the literature search, the study of literature, the preparation of the presentation, the discussion with the teacher, the talk itself and answering questions about it.
Media
Presentation materials, complementary literature
Literature
Specialized literature to the individual topics of the seminar talks will be provided;
own literature search.
