ECE 398 class schedule data for spring 2023
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
48831	Lecture	EC	1:00PM -1:50PM	MWF	3015 Electrical & Computer Eng Bldg	Chitambar, E	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/23-05/03/23 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Quantum Systems I Section Info: This course introduces the basic principles of quantum mechanics and its applications in modern electronics and quantum information science. The course covers three main topics: (i) the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics and solutions to Schrödinger’s equation, (ii) semi-classical theory of light-matter interaction and quantum control, and (iii) qubits and principles of quantum information processing. Sub-topics studied in detail include finite versus infinite-dimensional quantum systems, bra/ket notation, quantum harmonic oscillator, crystalline structures and semi-conductors, atomic absorption and emission, Rabi oscillations, atomic qubits and the Bloch sphere, quantum entanglement, quantum gates and algorithms, quantum teleportation, and quantum key distribution. A primary goal of this course is to prepare the student for higher-level courses in quantum information science. Prerequisites: PHYS 214 Restriction(s): Not intended for Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
51057	Lecture	GG	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	1015 Electrical & Computer Eng Bldg	Gross, G	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/23-05/03/23 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Electric Vehicles (EVs) Section Info: Electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to drastically reduce the global CO2 footprint to effectively address climate change issues. Massive EV adoption requires the establishment of an EV charging infrastructure (EVCI) to supply the energy needs of EV owners/users. The course examines technical, economic, environmental and policy aspects of EVs and the required EVCI. A basic physics discussion of rolling vehicles serves to determine the power and energy requirements and their implications for energy storage and transfer. The course covers the EV architectures and configurations, as well as the detailed description of the deployment of motors and generators, drives for traction applications, batteries and their management and the EV-grid nexus. The description of the various technologies and approaches deployed in EV design and operations is augmented by the detailed examination of the energy efficiency and environmental benefits of EVs. The application of power electronics to EV charging is accompanied by a detailed examination of the EVCI and its interactions with the existing infrastructures. Throughout the course there is a strong focus on the efficient utilization of energy in an environmentally sensitive manner to emphasize the significant role of EVs and EVCI in the energy transition. Prerequisites: Junior standing in Engineering; ECE 210 or 205 Restriction(s): Not intended for Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
44437	Laboratory	RI1	12:00PM -12:50PM	R	3014 Electrical & Computer Eng Bldg	Ilie, R Oliveira Carvalho Da Silva, P	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/23-05/03/23 Credit: 1 hours Section Title: Fields and Waves VR Lab Section Info: This course is designed to be taken concurrently with ECE 329 “Fields and waves I”, to strengthen the students' understanding of the concepts in electromagnetism and their applications, through a combination of customized Virtual Reality (VR) experiences and computer simulations using Mathematica. Topics include static and quasi-static electric fields, polarization, static and quasi-static magnetic fields, dynamic fields and Maxwell’s equations, wave solutions of Maxwell's equations in free space and homogeneous media, time- and frequency-domain analysis of waves in transmission line circuits, and Smith Chart analysis. Restriction(s): Not intended for Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
