DESCRIPTION:Nonlinear optics (NLO) is one of the most fascinating fields of
  modern physics. It deals with light-matter interactions at extreme electr
 o-magnetic field strengths. Such fields are today routinely available than
 ks to laser technology. NLO started with the observation of second harmoni
 c generation from a ruby laser in 1961\, just 1 year after the first laser
  was operated. It allows producing optical pulses with durations in the fe
 mtosecond (fs\, 10<sup>-15</sup> s) and even attosecond (as\, 10<sup>-18</
 sup> s) order. With such sources\, one can observe chemical reactions\, ph
 ysical and biological phenomena in real time. During the lectures\, I will
  give a short overview of NLO. I will discuss the main physical phenomena 
 (second harmonic generation\, optical parametric amplification\, differenc
 e and sum frequency generation\, white light generation\, third harmonic g
 eneration\, high harmonic generation…) and some of their applications\, 
 and conclude with the newest trends of research like coherent pulse synthe
 sis.\nSpeaker: Giovanni Cirmi

DESCRIPTION:Strong electronic correlations are a main driver behind many ex
 citing phenomena in quantum many-body systems\, ranging from correlated qu
 antum materials (Mott transition\, high-temperature superconductivity) to 
 cold atoms in optical lattices. However\, the strong-correlation problem s
 till poses many challenges when it comes to a quantitative and even qualit
 ative understanding of the relevant degrees of freedom and microscopic int
 eractions that drive phase transitions in solids. Dynamical mean-field the
 ory (DMFT)\, first developed in the late 1980s and 1990s\, provides one ke
 y limit in which the correlation problem becomes tractable\, namely the on
 e of large spatial dimensions\, or local self-energies. In this focus cour
 se we will discuss the basics behind DMFT and learn how this allows one to
  understand the paradigmatic Mott metal-to-insulator transition.\nSpeaker:

DESCRIPTION:From a microscopic point of view\, a solid is just a regular ar
 rangement of atoms\, embedded in a soup of electrons. Yet\, a remarkably r
 ich manifold of phenomena emerges from this simple starting point\, rangin
 g from simple metals and semiconductors to multiple kinds of magnetic orde
 r or superconductivity. In this course we will discuss basic properties of
  solids and their microscopic understanding.Topics include:- band theory- 
 screening- phonons - ordered phases
