PHYSICS 182: ULTRACOLD QUANTUM PHYSICS (APPPHYS 282, PHYSICS 282)

Introduction to the physics of quantum optics and atoms in the ultracold setting. Quantum gases and photons are employed in quantum simulation, sensing, and computation. Modern atomic physics and quantum optics will be covered, including laser cooling and trapping, ultracold collisions, optical lattices, ion traps, cavity QED, BEC and quantum degenerate Fermi gases, and quantum phase transitions in quantum gases and lattices. Prerequisites: Undergraduate quantum and statistical mechanics courses.
Terms: Win | Units: 3
Instructors: Lev, B. (PI)

PHYSICS 190: Independent Research and Study

Undergraduate research in experimental or theoretical physics under the supervision of a faculty member. The faculty member will prepare a list of goals and expectations at the start of the research. The student will prepare a written summary of research accomplished by the end. Prerequisites: superior work as an undergraduate Physics major and consent of instructor.

PHYSICS 191: Scientific Communication in Physics

Terms: Win | Units: 3

PHYSICS 192: Physics Capstone Paper

Students enroll in this course in order to complete their Capstone paper if they have chosen that option to fulfill their Capstone requirement. Note that students may alternatively write their Capstone paper as part of Physics 191. Students should enroll in this course with their official research project advisor as the instructor. During this course, the student will complete a journal-style (e.g. PRL-style) article on their research project. A passing grade in this course signifies the student has completed the Physics Capstone requirement. Instructor permission is required to enroll. Only Physics majors may enroll in this course.

PHYSICS 198: Learning Assistant Training Seminar

Training seminar for undergraduate students selected for the Learning Assistant (LA) program. In this seminar LAs learn and practice pedagogical techniques they will apply in an active learning classroom. LAs practice instruction strategies in a collaborative small group setting, with regular reflection and feedback. In addition, LAs learn mentoring practices to help fellow undergraduates develop academic skills. The seminar meets 90 minutes weekly with additional readings and reflection outside of class.

PHYSICS 199: The Physics of Energy and Climate Change (PHYSICS 201)

Topics include measurements of temperature and sea level changes in the climate record of the Earth, satellite atmospheric spectroscopy, satellite gravity geodesy measurements of changes in water aquifers and glaciers, and ocean changes. The difference between weather fluctuations changes and climate change, climate models and their uncertainties in the context of physical, chemical and biological feedback mechanisms to changes in greenhouse gases and solar insolation will be discussed. Energy efficiency, transmission and distribution of electricity, energy storage, and the physics of harnessing fossil, wind, solar, geothermal, fission and fusion will be covered, along with prospects of future technological developments in energy use and production. Prerequisite: Physics 40 or Physics 60 series.

PHYSICS 205: Senior Thesis Research

Long-term experimental or theoretical project and thesis in Physics under supervision of a faculty member. Planning of the thesis project is recommended to begin as early as middle of the junior year. Successful completion of a senior thesis requires a minimum of 3 units for a letter grade completed during the senior year, along with the other formal thesis and physics major requirements. Students doing research for credit prior to senior year should sign up for Physics 190. Prerequisites: superior work as an undergraduate Physics major and approval of the thesis application.
