|
| Dozent(en): | K. Buse, M. Fiebig, D. Haertle, D. Meschede, F. Vewinger, A. Widera | |
| Fachsemester: | 5. und höher | |
| Wochenstundenzahl: | 2 | |
| Erforderliche Vorkenntnisse: | Grundkurse Physik im 1.-4. Semester | |
| Inhalt: | Das Seminar hat zwei Ziele: Die tiefere Einarbeitung in Themen, die dicht an aktueller Forschung auf dem Gebiet der Angewandten Optik liegen und außerdem die praktische Übung der Erstellung und Präsentation exzellenter Vorträge. Bei einer Vorbesprechung stellen die Betreuer Themen vor, aus denen sich die aktiven Teilnehmer des Seminars je eins auswählen. Hinweis: Early Birds können sich schon jetzt Themen aus der unten stehenden Liste aussuchen. Dazu stellen die Betreuer dann Literatur sowie Tipps und Hilfsmittel zur Literaturbeschaffung zur Verfügung. Nach einer Einarbeitung in das Gebiet werden dann Aufbau und Struktur des Vortrags mit dem Betreuer diskutiert. Es folgt eine Besprechung der erstellten Präsentationsfolien. Dann wird der Vortrag in dem Seminar präsentiert. Neben den aktiven Teilnehmern können dazu gern weitere Studierende kommen. Die Vortragsdauer soll 45-60 Minuten betragen. Im Anschluss an den Vortrag findet eine fachliche Diskussion statt. Es folgt ein zweiter Teil der Diskussion, bei dem nur die aktiven Teilnehmer des Seminars anwesend sind. Dabei wird der Vortrag im Hinblick auf technische Aspekte der Präsentation analysiert. Nach dem Vortrag wird dann noch eine Kurz-Zusammenfassung des behandelten Themas erstellt und im Internet veröffentlicht. Vorträge können auf Deutsch oder auf Englisch gehalten werden. Die Vorbereitung des Vortrags ist arbeitsintensiv. Es wird dringend geraten, bereits am Anfang des Semesters unmittelbar nach der Wahl eines Themas mit der Einarbeitung in die Materie zu beginnen. In diesem Semester stehen voraussichtlich unter anderem folgende Themen zur Auswahl: - Verschiedene Themen zum Gebiet „Quantum Control“ (D. Meschede) - Metamaterialien: Künstliche Kristalle mit erstaunlichen optischen Eigenschaften (M. Fiebig) - Mehr sehen als man denkt: Nichtlineare Laseroptik an geordneten Strukturen (M. Fiebig) - "Optimale Kontrolle": Steuerung molekularer Dynamik mit geformten Laserpulsen (F. Vewinger) - Künstliche Atome: Optische Kontrolle einzelner Spins in Quantenpunkten (F. Vewinger) - Quanteninterferenz: Kontrolle molekularer Dynamik mit Lichtpulsen (F. Vewinger) - Kleine Strukturen, große Wirkung: Ferroelektrische Domänen (K. Buse/D. Haertle) - Sprung in die Nanowelt: Ferroelektrische Nanokristalle (K. Buse/D. Haertle) - Durchstimmbares Laserlicht: optische parametrische Oszillatoren (K. Buse/D. Haertle) - Quantenprozessoren: Quantengatter mit gefangenen Ionen (A.Widera) - Anstoß zur Verschränkung: Kalte Kollisionen für skalierbare Verschränkung mit neutralen Atomen (A. Widera) - Kostbarer Speicher: Farbzentren in Diamant als Quantenbits (A. Widera) Die Themen von F. Vewinger finden Sie näher beschrieben unter http://www.iap.uni-bonn.de/vewinger/Lectures/Topics_Seminar.html Die Vorbesprechung mit der Ausgabe der Themen findet am Dienstag, dem 14. April um 14:15 Uhr im Hörsaal des IAP statt. Interessierte Studierende können sich aber auch schon gern vorher bei Betreuern zur Vergabe eines Vortragsthemas melden. The seminar has two goals: To provide in-depth knowledge about selected actual topics in the field of applied optics and to provide practical training in preparing and presenting excellent talks. During the first meeting the organizers will present a list of topics from which each active participant of the seminar can select one. Hint: Early birds can already contact the organizers during the lecture free time and select one topic. For each topic literature will be provided. Starting with this material the active participants of the seminar will familiarize themselves with the content. This will be done by discussions as well as by further literature search. Based on the accumulated knowledge an outline for each talk will be made and finally the viewgraphs will be prepared. Then the talk will be presented in the seminar. Typical duration of the talk is 45-60 minutes. After the talk there will be a discussion about the content. And, as a second part of the discussion, technical issues of the talk will be analyzed. Finally, a short written summary of the talk will be prepared and posted in the internet. Talks can be given in German or English. Preparation of the talk is a serious amount of work. It is highly recommended to start already at the beginning of the lecture time to familiarize yourself with the content. This term at least the following topics are available: - Various topics related to “Quantum Control” (D. Meschede) - Metamaterials: Artificial crystals with exciting optical properties (M. Fiebig) - Seeing more than expected: Nonlinear laser optics on ordered structures (M. Fiebig) - Optimal control: Steering molecular dynamics with shaped laser pulses (F. Vewinger) - Artificial atoms: All-optical control of single spins in quantum dots (F. Vewinger) - Quantum interference: Control of molecular dynamics with light pulses (F. Vewinger) - Small structures, large impact: Ferroelectric domains (K. Buse/D. Haertle) - Going to the nano-scale: Ferroelectric nanocrystals (K. Buse/D. Haertle) - Tuning of laser light: optical parametrical oscillators (K. Buse/D. Haertle) - Quantum processors: Quantum gates with trapped ions (A.Widera) - Kick-off for entanglement: Cold collisions for large scale entanglement of neutral atoms (A. Widera) - Precious memory: Color centers in diamond as quantum bits (A. Widera) The topics of F. Vewinger are detailed a bit more under http://www.iap.uni-bonn.de/vewinger/Lectures/Topics_Seminar.html A first meeting will take place Tuesday, April 14 in the IAP lecture hall at 2:15 p.m. However, interested students can contact the organizers also in advance to get already a topic for an own talk. | |

| 6818 | Seminar on the Spectrum of Hadrons with Charm - Experimental and Theoretical Aspects We 14-16, SR I, HISKP SEXP, WPSEXP STHE, WPSTHE |
|
| Instructor(s): | K.-T. Brinkmann, A. Gillitzer, C. Hanhart, A. Nogga, A. Wirzba | |
| For term nos.: | 6+ | |
| Hours per week: | 2 | |
| Prerequisites: | Quantum Mechanics | |
| Contents: | The seminar will address key hadronic data of the programs on open and hidden heavy-quark spectroscopy at the present-day experimental facilities (e.g. Belle in Japan, BaBar at Stanford University, CLEO in Frascati) and the future ones (BES III in Beijing or PANDA of the FAIR project in Darmstadt). It will put these experimental issues - on mostly charm physics - into perspective by discussing the corresponding theoretical aspects in the framework of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental theory of strong interaction physics. Especially, the investigation of charmonia and bottomonia (heavy quark-antiquark hadronic states as e.g. the J/psi and its excitations) and of hadrons with a heavy-light combination of (anti)quarks (e.g. D mesons) will deepen our understanding of the physics of strong interactions in the non-perturbative regime of QCD about excitation spectra, confinement, final state interactions etc. Another key issue is the search for bound systems other than quark-antiquark states in the meson sector: note that these so-called exotic states made either by gluons only (glueballs) or having a constituent gluon component (hybrids), a diquark-antidiquark structure (tetraquarks) or a di-meson configuration (hadron molecules) are allowed by QCD in principle, but still have not been uniquely identified in experiments limited to light-quark physics. | |

| Contents: | T Tauri (young stellar systems not yet in Main Sequence) and RS CVn systems (evolved stellar systems that already left the Main Sequence), although very diverse systems, have similar flare activities observed at radio and X-ray wavelengths. The flares in both systems are several orders of magnitude stronger than those of the Sun. The origin of this activity, defined "coronal activity", depends on the convective zone, the rotation, the formation and dissipation of magnetic fields. In general terms: This is a mechanism of the same type as on the Sun, but enforced by the binary nature of these systems. In these lectures we will explore a link between the amplification of initial magnetic fields by dynamo action in several rotating systems ( Sun, binary systems and accretion discs around black holes) and the release of magnetic energy into a corona where particles are accelerated. Together with the basic theory there will be as well illustrated the latest progress in the research on stellar coronal emission derived from recent space missions and high-resolution radio observations. | |

| Contents: | The "Star Formation - Near and Far" journal club is an informal forum for students, post docs and staff to meet and discuss recent articles from the literature. The focus of the journal club is "star formation" in a broad sense: what are the conditions for and impact of star formation from circumstellar disks in nearby molecular clouds to extragalactic scales. Each week we have different presenters leading the discussion based on one (or more) papers related to this topic. The emphasis is on an informal discussion about the premises and impact of the selected papers. Since the audience come from rather different backgrounds we encourage the leaders of the discussions to pay special attention to placing the presented papers into a broader context. | |
