General course information
This course is a survey
of topics broadly related to chaos in quantum systems, with emphasis in its
manifestations in many-body quantum systems.
The course is designed to be a ‘self-study’ program. In the first two
sessions, we will introduce some basic aspects of quantum chaos and give an
overview of the topics that will be treated later on. Reading material will be
assigned every week, including lecture notes and research articles. In the
remaining sessions, course participants will present sections from the reading
material and facilitate group discussions. Participants are encouraged to also
propose other topics of their interest.
The sessions will be
held on Wednesdays at 4 pm Mountain Daylight Time (MDT), running until 5.15 MDT
including discussion.
