- Quantum thermalization and many-body localization.
Evaluation
The students have two possibilities:
(1)A final written exam which counts for the total grade.(2)An homework assignement + a written exam. The final grade is given by a weighted average of the two grades (the homework counts 1/4 and the written exam 3/4).
