Presentation and regular participation.
Quantum theory.
Symmetries and the conservation laws connected to them play an important role in nearly all areas of physics. The notion of symmetry and prominent examples, especially from quantum mechanics, will be treated in some talks. Later on, the description of symmetries through group theory, symmetries in elementary particle physics (e. g. the flavor symmetry SU(3) and gauge symmetries), symmetry breaking and supersymmetry will be among the topics.
Topics are given out to students in master’s and bachelor’s programs.
The literature is made available to the speakers. Further advice concerning complementary literature is given as part of the talk guidance.
