ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): (not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Full description: (in Polish)

The goal of the course is to provide an up-to-date, self-contained introduction into the mathematical analysis of quantum many-boson systems. The main goal is to discuss the concept of Bose-Einstein Condensation and related topics (such as superfluidity) from a rigorous point of view. We plan to cover the following topics:

(1) Principles of quantum statistical mechanics.

(2) The concept of Bose-Einstein Condensation.

(3) Scaling limits: from Hartree to Gross-Pitaevskii.

(4) Bogoliubov theory and superfluidity.

(5) Quantum dynamics: the nonlinear Schrodinger equation.

Our aim is to make the lecture accessible to both physicists and mathematicians. Research projects will be proposed during the course.
