Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

We give an introduction into the formalism of density matrices and discuss several notions of quantum entropy. Furthermore we study the phenomenon of decoherence in single quantum systems and composite ones which are entangled. We consider finally the theory open quantum systems and present typical examples of quantum optics and particle physics.
Typical examples and homework problems will be solved, the execises constitute an inseparable part of the lecture course.
