Module

Quantum Electrodynamics

Quantenelektrodynamik

6 LPunregelmäßigEN

Voraussetzungen

Empfohlen, im Wortlaut

Knowledge of theoretical physics - in particular quantum mechanics- in the frame of bachelor studies.

Inhalte

• Canonical field quantization • Quantization of the electromagnetic field • Second quantization of the electron field • Light-Matter Interaction

Lernziele

After successfully completing the module, students will have developed a solid understanding of quantum electrodynamics as a fundamental model of modern relativistic quantum field theories and they can apply the knowledge they have acquired to describe the interaction between electrons and photons. Using the module's topic as an example, they know the methods of gaining knowledge, the classification of physical findings in the overall context, and the interconnection of individual findings. In addition, individual competencies such as diligence, perseverance, curiosity, initiative, etc. were promoted by the students.
