Advanced Quantum Engineering MENG 31400 (every Fall quarter)

To obtain an introductory knowledge of the techniques and phenomena central to quantum engineering. Synopsis: Quantum mechanics underlies many areas of modern engineering, including materials science, photonics, electronics, metrology and information processing. This course explores both the fundamental physics of quantum systems as well as the tools utilized to engineer and control them. Topics to be discussed may include eigenvalues and eigenstates, harmonic oscillators, operators, symmetries, spin, angular momentum, perturbation theory, and time evolution. We will also explore examples of engineered quantum systems. Live demos of real-world quantum systems will be included in this course for the first time.
