Some simple quantum mechanics in python

This notebook stems from the undergrad lectures at Heidelberg University on quantum mechanics. As the questions on the topic keep coming back, I thought to share it here.

Feedback for AMO experimentalists

In this blog-post, we give a short introduction into feedback control for examples that are of interest to AMO experimentalists.

What are dynamical gauge fields ? A simplistic introduction by an AMO experimentalist.

Dynamical gauge fields are a fundamental concept of high-energy physics. However, learning about them typically takes enormous amounts of time and effort. As such, they are typically a bit mystical to students (including me) of other fields of physics like condensed-matter or AMO. Here, we will give a simple introduction into some of the concepts that might allow for the quantum simulation of these theories with ultracold atomic gases.The reader should know about second quantization and the basics of quantum mechanics as the arguments are based on this formalism.
