CPES7103 has been successfully completed

Material to be taught in this topic will be applicable to small scale (sub-atomic) physical systems, and Nanotechnology. Material will be selected from: Advanced quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, advanced statistical mechanics, many-body-theory, condensed matter physics, quantum optics, quantum computers, particle and nuclear physics, and other modern themes.

The aim of this topic is to give students a solid grounding in a number of areas of relevance to current research in Nanotechnology, and Experimental Atomic and Molecular Physics.

At the completion of the topic, students are expected to be able to:

1. Understand a range of concepts in advanced quantum theory and Nanotechnology
2. Understand a range of techniques and methods used in Nanotechnology
