At the end of the course, you are able to:
- to employ bachelor level quantum mechanics and thermodynamics in understanding nano-electronic concepts in condensed matter physics
- to explain how to realize classical and quantum information concepts in solid-state materials
- to identify and discuss the application of solid state principles toward information storage and processing
- to investigate and summarize a modern research topic in condensed matter physics
- to identify and analyse relevant scientific literature in condensed matter physics

This course focuses on advanced and modern topics in condensed matter physics. The emphasis of the course is aimed at understanding solid-state materials, and how condensed matter phenomena can be utilized to store and process classical and quantum information. The course covers the concepts of binary logic and memory, the physical consequences of lower dimensionality in electronic structure, and introduces magnetism, Dirac materials, and the concept of topology in condensed matter.

| The course will be taught in English |
The course covers the following topics:
• Lower dimensional electronic structure
• Information storage and processing in solid-state materials
• Atomic-scale magnetism
• Quantum information
• Dirac materials and topology
• Superconductivity
• Modern experimental techniques to characterize the aforementioned phenomena |
| The assessment of the course is based on three components: (1) an in-class student presentation, (2) a written review report, and (3) attendance. |
| Quantum Mechanics 1a, 1b, 2 (NB013B, NB014B, NB015C); Thermodynamics (NB005B); Structure of Matter: Solid-state physics (NWI-NB072B) |
