Description
ECTS Credits |
5 ECTS credits |
Language of instruction |
English |
Timing |
The course is held in every second/third autumn semester, during period I. It is recommended to complete the course at the 3th, 4th, or 5th autumn semester. |
Learning outcomes |
Upon completion of the course, the student:
- knows the quantum mechanical circuit theory such that the student can construct a Hamiltonian operator for a simple electric ciruit - is able to explain damping of quantum systems via master equation formalism and knows how it is derived and justified - is able to to solve time-dependent quantum mechanical problems involving uncoupled or coupled harmonic oscillators and quantum bits - knows basics of modern superconducting circuit based quantum bits. |
Contents |
The basic concepts and methods of modern quantum devices: quantum circuit theory, damping via master equation, harmonic oscillator, and Josephson junction based quantum bits. |
Mode of delivery |
Face-to-face teaching |
Learning activities and teaching methods |
Lectures 28 h, exercises 14 h, and self-study 93 h |
Target group |
Advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students of physics. Everyone, who is interested in the physics and working principles of modern quantum devices. |
Prerequisites and co-requisites |
The recommended prerequisite is the courses of Quantum mechanics I 763312A and Quantum mechanics II 763613A/S or corresponding knowledge. |
