Seminar on Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Summer semester 2020

  • 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 2019/20 but is not restricted to students who attended that course. Others need basic knowledge in quantum mechanics, analysis, linear algebra, and probability theory.
  • Talks: 90 minutes, one talk per week
  • List of talks:
