      Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS)

      Chirality is an extremely important property in physics and chemistry. It is appears in elementary particles like photons as well as in the basic building blocks of the body (such as amino acids, which make up proteins, and nucleic acids, which make up genetic material). Many other molecules are “chiral”, i.e. they can not be superimposed to their mirror image by translations and rotations. The two distinguishable variants (enantiomers) often occur in nature with one (strongly) preferred. A well known phenomenon arising for chiral molecules is optical activity, the rotation of the polarisation axis of light when passing through a solution of such molecules, e.g. sugar. An unexpected chirality effect has been first observed in transport measurements: if an electron subject to an electric bias travels through a chiral medium, transmission is favoured for a certain projection of the spin of the electron along the chiral axis and suppressed for the other. Which orientation is preferred depends on the chirality – handness of the medium – and on the direction of motion. Re- markably, no magnetic field is required and the CISS is very effective even at room temperature. Further experimental evidences have then emerged also in very different setups with no steady-state current and even in photo-induced electron transfer (PET) through a chiral bridge. The CISS phenomenon became recently a subject of intensive research.
      In the seminar the basic concept of chirality in physics and chemistry will be discussed, followed by the initial observations of CISS, leading to present literature.

      The goal of this seminar is to explore how quantum mechanical principles and spin-based technologies are advancing the frontiers of biophysical research. The course will focus on how quantum sensors, such as nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, spin labels, and other paramagnetic probes, can be used to measure magnetic fields, temperature, molecular dynamics, and conformational changes in biological systems with high sensitivity and resolution.

      Participants will present and discuss recent experimental and theoretical advances in this field. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the underlying quantum physics (spin coherence, decoherence, control), the design and operation of quantum sensors in complex environments, and their application to problems in structural biology, membrane biophysics, and cellular function.

      The lecture aims to establish a link between the fundamentals of solid state physics and specialized lectures on actual research topics. The following topics will be covered:

       

      • Structure of solids, thin films, and surfaces
      • Electronic states in 3-, 2-, and 1-dimensional solids, quantum stability
      • Magnetism, phase transitions, magnetoresistance, principles of spin electronics

      The course program will cover the basics of each topic but likewise discuss current methods and problems of solid state physics. The relevant experimental techniques (diffraction and imaging techniques, spectroscopic techniques, and magnetometry) will be introduced and discussed using examples from actual research.

      Welcome to your study of AMol Physics! This lecture will give you an introduction to a wide range of topics in the mentioned field and can be seen as the starting point for a successful master or Ph.D. thesis. After a repetition of the main aspects of atomic structure we will move to molecules and will present Born-Oppenheimer approximation, molecular orbital and valence bond theories, polyatomic systems with Hückel approximation and self-consistent field calculations (Hartree-Fock formalism and DFT). The lecture will continue with a selection of experimental methods that are used to determine molecular structure and dynamics: vibrational spectroscopy and normal mode analysis, electronic spectroscopy (chromophores, exciton coupling, two-photon absorption), fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging techniques, NMR spectroscopy (chemical shift, scalar coupling, AX, AB and A2 spectra, NOE and multidimensional NMR), EPR spectroscopy with double resonance techniques, and aspects of intermolecular interactions as ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, van der Waals or hydrogen bond.

      Quantum Error Correction (Philippe Faist)
      Schedule: Mo 12:00-14:00, Mi 14:00-16:00 (Class starts on: 2025-10-13)

      Current early quantum computers are severely limited by noise, preventing them from running quantum algorithms that are large enough to explore the full power of quantum computing. *Quantum error correction* protects fragile quantum information from noise and is anticipated to enable future quantum computers to run large quantum circuits at low error rates.

      With this course, you will assimilate the core concepts in quantum error correction and fault tolerance, familiarize yourself with the current major quantum error correcting codes for various types of quantum hardware, learn how to apply standard techniques to construct new codes with corresponding decoders, and understand how to reliably run a quantum computation on encoded states.

      This course builds upon the concepts introduced in the course “Quantum Information Theory” and is targeted to students wishing to deepen their knowledge about modern techniques in quantum computing. This course will both equip you with a strong theoretical background useful to carry out future theoretical research in the field of quantum computing as well as help you develop key skills to join the quantum industry workforce. If time permits, we might also have the opportunity to touch upon some connections to broader themes including the theory of condensed matter physics and some models of quantum gravity. The exercises will include solving theoretical problems as well as running some simple numerical simulations with established quantum software packages.

      This course assumes familiarity with quantum mechanics and with elementary concepts of  quantum information theory (states, POVMs, quantum channels, quantum circuits, diamond norm, ...). The first lecture will cover a brief reminder of the core concepts of quantum information theory to enable participation from motivated students who have not followed the quantum informaion theory course and who are willing to catch up on the relevant material along the way.

      Topics that we will cover include:
      - Fundamental principles of quantum error correction
      - Qubit stabilizer codes
      - The surface code
      - Homological picture of CSS codes
      - The color code
      - Principles of fault tolerance
      - Fault tolerance with the surface code
      - Quantum Low-Density Partity-Check codes (qLDPC)
      - Bosonic codes
      - Implementations/realizations on quantum hardware platforms
      - Quantum error correction in physical many-body systems and holography

      I am happy to further shape the course based on suggestions from registered students, e.g., to include additional topics or to prioritize certain topics.

      Additional information / Pre-requisites

      The students have a detailed and critical understanding of theoretical and practical aspects of electron spin resonance spectroscopy. They are able to apply this knowledge to solve related problems including analysis and interpretation of experimental data they would generate as part of the course.

      Comments

      This course covers in depth the fundamental concepts of electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and their applications to diverse problems.
      The general concepts of magnetic resonance will be presented. Examples are:

      • electron-nuclear spin Hamiltonian,
      • hyperfine interaction,
      • electron-electron interactions and
      • forbidden electron-nuclear transition.

      Students will learn about continuous wave and pulsed ESR techniques for the determination of weak hyperfine and dipolar couplings with appropriate examples of the variety of information that can be obtained. In some weeks, they will perform a few of these experiments in the laboratory instead of the weekly exercise.

      Comments

      What does gender have to do with natural sciences such as physics or biology? When closely analysing the histories, cultures, practices and contents of the natural sciences, it becomes visible that gender and diversity categories have an impact on the natural sciences: from the underrepresentation of women and the situation of minorities in the sciences to gender differences in career outcomes up to gendered constructions in scientific theories, gender and diversity categories are relevant in various contexts of science. The course introduces to approaches, concepts and methods of Gender Studies for the natural sciences. The course is aimed at students of the natural sciences, the humanities and the social sciences.
