Quantum Dynamics 3

What it is about

You deal with mathematical methods for the analysis and numerical treatment of quantum-dynamical systems. In the module you will learn advanced approaches such as variational principles, Galerkin approximations and semiclassical models, and you can apply these to concrete model systems of medium to moderately high dimension.

What you will be able to do

• Understanding of the Dirac–Frenkel time-dependent variational principle
• Knowledge of Galerkin approximations for quantum-dynamical problems
• Familiarity with semiclassical models and initial value representations
• Application of non-adiabatic dynamics methods to model systems
• Ability to read and write numerical pseudocode designs for approximation schemes
