Lecture 1 Slides
|
Lecture 1: Brief Review of Quantum Physics
How the quantum nature of physics is not restricted to the nano-world but can even appear in macroscopic observations. |
|
30 June 09
(Tue)
Lecture 2 Slides
|
Lecture 2: Fermi Gas of Electrons
How the simple picture of a free collection of electrons can nevertheless describe the properties of conduction bands. How does this help us understand nano-electronics ? |

Lecture 3 Slides
|
Lecture 3: Bose Gas and Bose-Einstein Condensation
What is a boson ? How the simple picture of a free collection of bosons can nevertheless describe the properties of superfluids and new materials. |
