| DC10.6 The student is able to reflect critically on his/her own way of thinking/reasoning and that of fellow students about a specific (material) problem. On the basis of this, the student is able to improve his/her own reasoning and, if necessary, look for complementary views in function of a specific (material) problem. [learning pathway interdisciplinarity - reflection: the student considers different perspectives and is able to reflect critically on them] |

|
|
The student should have prior knowledge of the following general topics in physics/chemistry:
- Quantum mechanics and basic concepts from solid state physics
|
|
|
|
The aim of the course is to provide students with comprehensive introduction into the modern problems of the condensed mater physics, which in the broad sense can be described by the umbrella term “Quantum materials”, and give theoretical understanding of their working principles, preparation and application.
In this specialized course, students will learn different types of quantum materials and how their can be used for the emerging quantum technologies. The course deals with the functional working principles of these materials and the relations to the quantum theory of materials. The course focuses, among others, on the following topics:
- Strongly correlated quantum systems, models of strongly correlated quantum systems, phase transitions
- Bose-Einstein condensate, superfluidity, quantum correlations, laser cooling.
- Dirac electronic systems, graphene, 2D materials
- Topological effects in crystals, topological insulators, Majorana fermions
