PHOT 301 Quantum Photonics
Course to be given during the fall semester of 2024-2025 over 14 weeks (2 hours theory +
2 hours practice), please see also the syllabus.
The course materials will be added during the semester.
Study materials and guidance
- Course syllabus (pdf)
- David Miller's webpage containing links to his course materials. We are using his textbook on Quantum Mechanics (together with Griffith's) within our course.
- QuVis: Web site with quantum mechanics visualizations and simulations for educational purposes.
- QuTiP: A computational library for quantum mechanics/optics simulations in Python.
- Applet(s) by Paul Falstad with simulations for 1D quantum mechanical systems.
Lecture materials
Further background materials
These are some further materials which could be of interest for those who want to look into applications/computations/simulations.
- Psi4: a Python library for computational quantum chemistry and DFT, with quite some educational material as well.
- Course on computational chemistry with Python: This course provides a nice overview of using Python for scientific computations with excellent beginner-level tutorials. And you learn (or at least I learned) some chemistry as well.
- Course on applied Quantum Mechanics by Erik Koch given at the German Research School for Simulation Sciences and RWTH Aachen University. A Master level course on simulations in Quantum mechanics.
