Seminar on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Sommersemester 2018

• Language of presentations: English or German
• Studiengänge: This seminar is offered primarily for the master's program in mathematical physics but is open to all study programs.
• Prerequisites: This seminar extends the course "Foundations of Quantum Mechanics" that I taught in the Wintersemester 2017/18 but is not restricted to students who attended that course. Others need basic knowledge in quantum mechanics, analysis, linear algebra, and probability theory.
• Tentative list of talks:

  1.5.18	University closed	public holiday
