Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
There will be an oral exam of 25 minutes duration. Therein the achievement of the competencies given in section learning outcome is tested exemplarily at least to the given cognition level using comprehension questions and sample calculations.
For example an assignment in the exam might be:
- Describe a quantum mechanical two-level system with the help of a Bloch sphere!
- Derive the Rabi frequency!
- Describe the electronic states of the negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy complex in diamond!
- How would you measure a magnetic field with an NV center?
- What is ac magnetometry and what are its benefits?
- How do you define the sensitivity of a measurement and what kind of typical noise sources do occur?
- Interpret the standard quantum limit!
- Define a squeezed state! Describe their application to quantum sensing!
In the exam no learning aids are permitted.
Participation in the exercise classes is strongly recommended since the exercises prepare for the problems of the exam and rehearse the specific competencies.
Exam Repetition
The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.
