Proseminar on Quantum Systems for Information Technology – FS 2011

PD Dr. D. Geshkenbein

Quantum Systems for Information Technology

This proseminar in Theoretical Physics is coordinated by PD Dr. Dima Geshkenbein.

Times and Location

The proseminar presentations will be on mondays. Date and time of the talks can be found further down (see table).

Organisation

Criteria for obtaining a Testat, i.e. passing the module:

Each presentation should last just less than 60 minutes. Students are encouraged to use Keynote or Power Point for their presentation.

Each student has been assigned a research assistant at the Institute (see table below).

The students should contact their respective assistant at least six weeks before their talk to discuss logistics.
They should keep their assistant updated of their work at least once a week.

One week before their talk they are expected to have a draft of their report as well as a finished set of slides which they have to present to their tutor (the report can be handed in later and is not necessary for the talk).

The reports will be compiled to a book with all other contributions, and must therefore be prepared using a specific LaTeX macro.
