Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the associated regulations by the WWU, the seminar will (at least initially) be held as a "webinar" using the video conferencing tool "Zoom". The preparatory meeting on 22.04. at 10:15 a.m. will also already take place as a zoom meeting. The meeting URL/ID to participate in the pre-meeting can be requested via e-mail: heitger(at)uni-muenster.de.
The literature as well as further advice concerning the preparation of the talks are made available via the LearnWeb.

Presentation and regular participation.
Quantum theory.
As clear as the formalism of quantum mechanics is, as controversial are many of its fundamentals and interpretations even today. Some famous contributions towards this circle of problems, which are typically beyond the scope of course lectures, are to be trated: the EPR paradox, Bell’s inequalities, hidden parameters, the many-worlds theory, etc. Furthermore, mathematical and theoretical aspects as well as further interesting phenomena of quantum mechanics are dealt with, such as the path integral, the Casimir effect and the concept of supersymmetry.
Topics are primarily given out to master’s students. A limited number of topics can possibly also be worked on by bachelor’s students.
The literature is made available to the speakers via the LearnWeb. Further advice concerning complementary literature is given as part of the talk guidance.
