| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE OBJECTIVES OF THE LECTURES ARE TO TRACE FOR STUDENTS A PATH FOR UNDERSTANDING AND APPLY, IN A CRITICAL WAY, ALL NOTIONS INHERENT TO THE FUNDAMENTAL THEORETICAL PHYSICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES. THIS TARGET WILL BE ALSO SUPPORTED BY DIDACTIC MATERIALS. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE AIM IS TO INTRODUCE THE STUDENTS TO NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC CONTEXT, AS WELL AS THE INDUSTRY (QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES). |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE IS ADDRESSED TO STUDENTS WITH INTEREST FOR HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS AS WELL AS FOR STUDENTS INTERESTED TO CONDENSED MATTER AND SOLID STATE PHYSICS. MATHEMATICAL COURSES FROM BACHELOR DEGREE ARE REQUIRED. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| DIRECT LECTURES WITH APPLICATIONS AND EXERCISES ON TOPIC RELATED WITH THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE. THE AIM IS TO PROVIDE FUNDAMENTAL NOTIONS OF PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS AIMED TO DESCRIBE NEW PHYSICS PHENOMENA AND COLLABORATE WITH OTHER RESEARCHERS. THE MAIN TOPICS OF THE LECTURES CAN BE DIVIDED IN THREE PARTIES: CRISIS OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS (8 H); QUANTUM MECHANICS (8 H); APPLICATIONS (8 H) |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| ORAL EXAMINATION TO VERIFY THAT STUDENTS UNDERSTOOD THE ARGUMENTS OF THE LECTURES. THE STUDENT MUST BE ABLE TO EXPOSE IN CLEAR AND SYNTETIC MANNER THE ARGUMENTS OF THE LECTURES AND TO FORMULATE AUTONOMOUS JUDGEMENTS. THE FINAL MARKS MAY VARY FROM A MINIMUM TO A MAXIMUM. THE MINIMUM GRADE EXAMINATION (18/30) IS APPLIED WHEN THE STUDENT HAS A LIMITATED KNOWNLEDGMENT OF THE ARGUMENTS TREATED DURING THE LECTURES. ON THE COUNTRY, THE MAXIMUM MARK (30/30 OR 30 CUM LODE) IS ALLOWED IN THE CASE IN WHICH STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE ARGUMENTS OF THE PROGRAM IN A DEEP AND CLEAR WAY, WITH THE CAPABILITY TO SOLVE ADVANCED PROBLEMS. THE EXAM DURATION IS 1,5 H |
