Advanced Quantum Theory

Prof. Dr. Hans Peter Büchler

Monday, 15 October 2018

• Monday, 9:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m., Seminar Room 6.331, Pfaffenwaldring 57
• Friday, 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., Seminar Room 6.331, Pfaffenwaldring 57

• The lecture and the tutorials will be given in English.
• There are two types of problems: "Written" problems are handed in in class and graded/corrected by the tutor. "Oral" problems are discussed in the tutorials and presented by students on the blackboard.
• Admission to the final exam requires 80% of the written scores, 66% of the oral scores, and presenting a problem on the blackboard twice.
• The registration for the exercise groups is now open. In order to register, you need the Lecture Key given in the first lecture.
• If you assign a password at the registration, you can request your current scores here.

There will be an oral examination at the end of the course.
Details will be given in the lecture.
