Seminar on Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Summer semester 2022

Taught by: Roderich Tumulka and Sahand Tokasi
Language of presentations: English
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 Prof. Tumulka taught in the winter semester 2021/22 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
Online or onsite? Onsite participation is preferred, but online participation will be possible.
