ECE 398 class schedule data for spring 2024
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
48831	Lecture	EC	1:00PM -1:50PM	MWF	4070 Electrical & Computer Eng Bldg	Chitambar, E	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/24-05/01/24 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.
44437	Laboratory	RI1	2:00PM -2:50PM	W	3014 Electrical & Computer Eng Bldg	Ilie, R Majumder, R	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/24-05/01/24 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.
