Quasi-Crystals, Fractals, and Other Beauties by Cristiane Morais Smith

This course covers the following learning outcomes and goals: - Understanding periodically and quasi-periodically driven complex systems - Exploring closed and open quantum systems with time-dependent Hamiltonians - Investigating the gauge theory of coupling between matter and radiation - Learning about quantum simulation experiments and their interpretation The course teaches the following individual skills or tools: - Terahertz and Infrared driven quantum matter - Shaken Optical Lattices and Cold Atoms - Floquet time crystals - Localization-delocalization physics in quasi-periodically driven systems - Dynamics of gauge theories The teaching method of the course involves lectures, discussions, and potentially hands-on quantum simulation experiments. The intended audience for this course includes researchers, academics, and professionals working in the fields of quantum physics, quantum simulation, and complex systems.
