| Content | This proseminar aims at exposing students to modern research topics in the field of experimental nano- and quantum physics, which is one of the cornerstones in research at the Basel physics department. Concrete learning objectives include: -To expand knowledge of quantum and nanophysics -To learn why this area of physics is interesting, special and useful -To get acquainted with current topics in research in Basel and beyond -To learn how to read and understand research papers -To learn how to present scientific results in a concise and comprehensive way Topics which were covered in recent years include the following fields: Quantum optics / Nanomechanics and “phononics” / Surface science / Ultracold atoms / Fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics / Quantum technologies (computing / communication / sensing / …) / Quantum transport of electrons |
