Course Information
Description
The important subject of quantum ergodicity and thermalization is under active investigation. This course is designed to address the questions that arise, developing the fundament tools right up to the research frontier. Chaos theory, Anderson localization, scarring, random matrix theory, decoherence, entanglement, and measurement theory are considered. As much as possible, this course will adopt a seminar format, with student discussion and presentations becoming more important as the term progresses.
